Quick Release Plate
Move the Quick Release Locking Lever outward
until it stops and remove the Quick Release Plate
by lifting upward. The plate has a threaded ¼” x 20
camera mounting screw for camera attachment.
Position the plate so that the camera mounting
screw aligns with the tripod socket on your camera
or camcorder and attach, using the camera mount-
ing screw. Move and hold open the Quick Release
Lock Lever and with the camera tilted slightly down,
slide the Quick Release Plate back into position.
After doing so, secure the platform using the Quick
Release Locking Lever by pressing firmly until it
stops.
Using the Pistol Grip Ball Head
For movement in any direction, simply loosen the
Pistol Grip Ball Head, by squeezing the Trigger Con-
trol Lock. When you have reached your desired po-
sition, simply release the trigger lock and the Pistol
Grip Ball Head will lock into place. The Pistol Grip
Ball Head also comes with a Vertical Cut-Out for
360° Photography. To use this feature, simply
squeeze the trigger and rotate the Pistol Grip Ball
Head until you feel the ball head begin to move
downward. You may now use the Pistol Grip Ball
Head at any angle. You can even shoot straight

Height Adjustments
(Monopod Mode)
To extend the monopod, twist
the leg lock located at the
foot of the monopod counter-
clockwise and gently pull on
the leg segment to the de-
sired length. The monopod
section of your Ultra 63TM
has 5 leg sections, and all of
the leg sections can be ad-
justed to your desired height.
To secure in position, twist
the leg lock clockwise. Not
properly securing the twist leg
lock may cause the monopod
to retract unexpectedly and
result in possible damage to
your camera and monopod.
To retract the leg sections in
order to use it in the tripod,
simply reverse the above pro-
cedure and reinsert the cen-
ter column back in the tripod.

Note:
The Pistol Grip Ball Head is removable, which
can allow the user to mount the camera directly to
the 1/4” x 20 screw at the top of the monopod.
