Assembly
If not already done, assemble the system as follows:
Tripod and spreader
Lift the tripod out of the case using the finger holes just below the top clamps.
Release the leg tie strap
(24)
and spread the legs.
Secure the spreader to the tripod feet with the rubber straps
(23)
.
Adjust the operating height by undoing the leg clamps
(20)
and pulling the tripod up to the desired
height. Adjust the spreader
(22)
if necessary.
Tighten the clamps
(20)
until an audible click is heard and the knob is in the horizontal, locked
position.
In adverse conditions secure the tripod using the tie-down hook
(26)
, or suspend a weight from
the hook.
Pan and tilt head
The Pro-10 pan and tilt head is supplied with a removable 75 mm ball mount. Adaptors are avail-
able which enable the head to be installed on tripods or pedestals fitted with other mountings.
These are listed under ‘Optional Accessories’.
To install the head, remove the bowl clamp assembly
(9)
from the head, position the head on the
tripod and refit the bowl clamp assembly from below. Level the head with the aid of the level bub-
ble
(10)
and tighten the bowl clamp. The level bubble may be illuminated by pressing the switch
(13)
. The light will extinguish after approximately 15 seconds.
Mounting the camera
Remove the slide plate
(14)
from the head by releasing the slide plate clamp
(7)
, pressing the slide
lock release

and pulling the plate out to the rear.

(1)
or
(18)

(15)
. Stow the unused screw in the appropriate stowage
(6)
in the platform
Attach the slide plate to the camera or camera mounting plate under the approximate centre of
the camera's weight using the mounting screw and locating pin
(5)
(if appropriate).
Set the platform level and apply both the pan
(11)
and tilt brakes
(4)
.
NOTE:
Once assembled, keep the spreader attached to the tripod
WARNING! Use care when the tripod is fully extended and the floor
spreader is in the closed position, as stability will be reduced.
