Precautions
Insure that all levers, collars and leg locks
are properly tightened, and that all three
legs are fully angled opened before use.
Do not mount any camera directly onto the
head mount screw located on the top of the
tripod’s center column. The screw may be
longer than the tripod socket in your
camera, and could possibly cause damage.
Do not carry or transport the tripod with the
camera equipment attached (as example
but not limited to: over your shoulder or
cradled in your arms).
Do not Oil or Grease any part of the tripod.
Do not use any solvents or thinners to clean
your tripod. Use mild detergent and wipe dry
with a soft, lint-free cloth only.
Do not store or expose your tripod to
excessive heat or cold or use close to any
flame or fire.
Do not exceed the load limit for this product.
Cat. no. 620-U63TM-PG
Ultra 63TM Tri-Monopod
with Pistol Grip Ball Head
Extending the Ultra 63TM Tripod Legs
Each leg of the Ultra 63TM has separate leg seg-
ments and each segment may be withdrawn as
needed. This permits setting your equipment at a
comfortable height and can be very useful when
positioning your tripod on uneven terrain.
To deploy any leg extension, flip the Leg Lock Lever
outwards and gently pull on the leg to extend. To
secure, press the Leg Lock until it locks in place.
Not properly securing a Leg Lock may cause the
tripod leg to retract unexpectedly and result in
damage to your camera and tripod.
Opening and Closing the Tripod
Your Sunpak Ultra 63TM is equipped with metal
Leg Braces with Locking Collar for maximum stabil-
ity and strength.
When opening the tripod, make certain that the Leg
Brace Locking Collar is loosened. All three leg
braces should be extended by gently pressing down
on any one leg brace until it stops. To secure, re-
tighten the collar. To close the tripod, reverse the
sequence.
