Locking collar, and then pull out the Center

Inverting the Center column

By inverting the Center column, it is possible to
do copy, and close up work.
Follow the same procedures in order to replace
with optional short Center column.

shakes, or accidental tip overs caused by unstableness.

back of the Pan & Tilt handle.
