Remove the Vertical tilt handle from the back of the Pan & Tilt handle
where it is stored.
Install the Vertical tilt handle
Check to see that there is a washer ring on the shaft of the Vertical tilt
handle, and then insert the shaft into the threaded hole located on the
right side of the Pan head. Screw handle all the way in until secure.
To remove the Quick release platform from the
Pan head, turn Quick release lock lever and lift
out Platform from its back.
Attaching the camera to the Quick release platform
Align the length of the Platform along the base of
the camera body, and securely tighten the
Mounting wing nut.
When attaching the camera to the Pan head,
check to make sure that the Quick release
platform is engaged in the catch of the Pan
head before locking the lever.
Loosen the Vertical tilt handle, and the level can be adjusted.
When loosening either the Pan & Tilt handle, or the Vertical tilt handle, take
precaution by keeping a firm grip on the handle until the Pan head is locked
down.
Caution
Using the Pan head
The Quick release platform can be attached to
the camera body in either directions (along the
length, or along the width).This feature
facilitates your camera set up into the vertical
position, simply by the turn of one of the tilt
handles.
Loosen the Pan & Tilt handle, and the head will
tilt back and forth.
Loosen the Panning lock knob, and the head will
rotate along the horizontal direction.

Use the following instructions if you wish to
change heads, or attach accessories.
First, lock the Panning lock knob, then grasp
the Pan, or Vertical tilt handle and turn the
head, counter-clockwise to loosen.
Removing the Head from the Center column
Set the new head, or accessory on the tripod's
threaded post, and turn clockwise until it comes
to a stop. Tighten the Panning lock knob and
turn clockwise slightly more.
Three position adjustable legs
To change the angle of each leg, close the leg slightly, and then pull the Leg
angle adjustment lock out. There is a choice of two other angle positions.
After choosing the desired leg angle, securely push in the Adjustment
lock.
By using the optional short center column, you can obtain the lowest
camera height of 350 mm (14").
To avoid unnecessary camera vibrations, try to keep the Center column
height to a minimum.
Also use the larger legs first, when extending the legs.
Extending the Tripod legs
To extend, or shorten a leg, loosen the Leg lock knob by turning it counter
clockwise. Turn knob clockwise to tighten, at the desired height.
Do not over tighten the Leg lock knob, as this may damage the leg tube.
Hold onto the Pan head with one hand, and loosen the Center column
stopper and the Center column locking collar with the other hand.
Raise or lower Pan head to desired height, and while maintaining a hold
of the Pan head, tighten the Locking collar and the stopper.
You may injure your hand by a sudden fall, if you let go of the Pan head
before locking the collar.
Turn the Locking collar with your fingers on the side of the collar.
