AC088 Super Lightweight Tripod

Mounting the camcorder on a tripod, such as AC088, will keep the camcorder steady and produce excellent video results.

This tripod’s fluid-effect head provides smooth camera pan and tilt. The quick- release mount makes it easy to attach or remove the camcorder. The grooved, tubular 3-section leg design folds down to 26" when not in use. Rubber feet allow for sure footing.

Cautions: Before using a tripod, make sure it is stable enough to hold the camcorder without falling over. Do not transport camcorder attached to tripod.

When attaching your camcorder to a tripod, be careful not to force the tripod screw into the camcorder’s tripod mounting hole.

The tripod screw should not protrude into the camcorder more than approximately three-eighth (3/8) inch. Forcing the screw could damage the mounting hole on the bottom of the camcorder.
