Pozi-Loc tripod
The Pozi-Loc two-stage tripod (Fig 2) has aluminium legs and a 75 mm levelling bowl (20) . It is
fitted with the highly-efficient Pozi-Loc leg clamp (21) , which provides quick set-up and easy ad-
justment.
Tripod spreaders
Depending on which PRO-6
HDV
system was purchased, the tripod is supplied with either a floor
spreader (Fig 2) or a mid-level spreader (Fig 3) . Both tripod spreaders increase the rigidity of the
tripod.
PRO-6 HDVF system
The PRO-6 HDVF system utilizes a floor spreader (Fig 2) which, being flexible, compensates for
uneven ground, protects floors and carpets and prevents the tripod legs sinking into soft ground.
It should be used at all times.
Each arm is of the spreader is adjustable for length (23) and the tripod feet are secured by rubber
straps (24) .
PRO-6 HDVM system
The PRO-6 HDVM system utilizes a mid-level spreader (Fig 3) which fastens to the attachment
points (26) . There are two spread settings, controlled by a knob (28) , and the arm lengths can be
adjusted using the extension clamps (29) to compensate for uneven ground. A set of three feet
(32) are also supplied with this system to protect floors and carpets and prevents the tripod sinking
into soft ground. The feet are secured to the tripod by rubber straps (33) .
NOTE: Always use the spreader where possible as this increases rigidity of the
tripod. Being flexible, the spreader compensates for uneven ground.
It can be removed and a dolly fitted.
At the fullest extension of the spreader and with all legs fully retracted, the
tripod can be used at its lowest operating height. Although the tripod can be
set up lower than this without the spreader, it is NOT recommended as the
tripod geometry becomes unstable
