remove the center column from
the tripod.

tripod from underneath, so the
column is facing down toward
the ground.

camera, adjust the leg angle
and height appropriately.

release plate, and attach the
quick-release plate to the video
head.
COUNTERWEIGHT
When shooting in windy
conditions, or when using a
telephoto lens, the stability of
your camera is critical.

the bottom of the center column
to hang a counterweight, such
as a sandbag (not included) or
your loaded equipment bag for
increased stability.

at the top of the shaft can be
removed and used as a monopod.
To assemble the monopod, follow
these steps:
1. Unscrew the weight hook from
