Using an Optional Tripod

Mounting the camcorder on a tripod, such as AC031 or AC040, will keep the camcorder steady and produce excellent video results.

AC031 Deluxe Tripod

This tripod’s fluid effect head provides smooth camera pan and tilt. Its quick- release mount makes it easy to attach or remove the camcorder. The grooved, tubular 3-section leg design folds down to 24" when not in use and weighs only 4-1/4 lbs. Rubber feet allow for sure footing and the built-in retractable leg spikes eliminate the need for removing the feet.

AC040 Heavy Duty Tripod

This high-end tripod is equipped with many professional features that enable you to produce professional results. The spring-flow head system combines both fluid and spring action for smooth “panning” and tilt action. It features heavy-duty 30 mm “D-channel” styled legs, oversized quick-release pad, click stop tilt adjustment, pan-drag tension adjustment, tilt-lever lock, transferable handle, bubble level, adjustable elevator friction tube, non-skid rubber feet with retractable spikes and quick-release leg lever locks.

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

All specifications and descriptions of accessories are subject to change without notice.
