1.Unfold the Tripod (15) by pulling out on the Tripod arms. Turn the Knob (17) to lock the arms in place-see Figure 1.

2.The legs of the Tripod (15) can be raised or lowered by lifting the latch on the body of the Tripod (15) and sliding the leg in or out to the desired height-see Figure 1. Push the latch down into place to secure the Leg into position. Repeat for the remaining two legs.

3.Set the Tripod on a flat surface. Once the Tripod (15) is set up, you can raise and lower the Rotating Head (7) by turning the Handle (18) located at the top of the Tripod (15) -see Figure 3. Wind the Handle (18) clockwise to raise the Rotating Head (7) and counterclockwise to lower the Rotating Head (7) -see Figure 3.

4. Initial Leveling of the Rotating Head (7):

Turn the three Adjusting Knobs (16) one at a time to level the Rotating Head (7). Keep turning the Adjusting Knobs (16) until the Bulls-Eye Bubble (19) floats exactly in the center of the circle. If you are out of level, the air bubble will float to the side of the Bulls-Eye Bubble-see Figure 4.

Note: The Bulls-Eye Bubble (19) is intended for initial leveling of the Rotating Head (7) only. After placing the Plastic Body (5) into the tripod slot, further leveling should be done

using the Horizontal Bubble (4) as a reference.
