Column (8) is fully extended. Start by rotating each leg a full 180 degrees so all 3 end up in the opposite 
direction of the travel position. Then push in all 3 of the Leg Angle Adjustment Switches (7). Next, loosen the 
Column Lock Knob (5) and slide the column down to its lowest position so the Column Platform (4) rests on 
the main yoke of the tripod. Now pull out on each leg (in a direction away from the center column). This is 
the normal position for the legs of your Scout Tripod. You can change the angle of the legs to a wider stance, 
which is also good for low level photography near the ground, by pulling out on each of the 3 Leg Angle 
Adjustment Switches, pulling each leg out to the next angle position and then pushing back in on the Leg 
Angle Adjustment Switches (7). Notice each leg can be adjusted independently for stable positioning on 
uneven terrain. Finally, you can pull out the Leg Angle Adjustment Switches (7) and rotate the legs all of the 
way back up to the travel position when desired.  
 
* Note: in the travel position the Leg Angle Adjustment Switches (7) remain open. 
 
To extend the length of any leg flip open the Flip Locks (10), pull on the leg sections, and then push the Flip 
Locks (10) closed. You can open each Flip Lock one at a time or all together. 
 

Extending and reversing the column / Using the weight hook 

Loosen the tripod Column Lock Knob (5) and slide the Reversible Column (8) up or down to the desired 
position. Tighten the Column Lock Knob (5) to hold the column in place. Notice the Retractable Weight Hook 
(9) at the bottom of the column. It is retracted with spring tension. Pull it away from the column and hang 
something on the hook, such as a camera bag, to add weight and stability to your Scout Tripod. 
 
The Reversible Column (8) is a 2-piece unit. You will see a small seam on the Column (8) near the Platform 
(4). Place a hand on each side of the seam and twist to unscrew the two parts of the Reversible Column (8). 
Now you have a short column, which can be used for low angle shots. Or, you can loosen the Column Lock 
Knob (5) and slide the column completely out of the tripod. Turn the column upside down and reinsert it into 
the tripod thereby reversing the column. Be sure to securely hold your camera when the column is reversed 
and the Column Lock Knob (5) is loose to avoid having your camera slide too fast and hit the ground.  
 
Please note, a tripod is always more stable when the legs are used to gain height rather than the column. 
Practice using the 3 legs to achieve your desired height and only extend the column once the legs cannot go 
any higher. 
 

Adjusting the ball head 

With your camera mounted to the ball head use the Tension & Panning Control Knob (3) to adjust the ball 
head. Loosen it to move your camera. Tighten it to lock your camera in place. Notice you can move the ball 
around and also rotate the head in circles using a panning motion when the Tension & Panning Control Knob 
(3) is loose. The Tension & Panning Control Knob is repositionable. Simply pull out on it, repositioning it, 
and let it snap back into place.
