Shoulder StrapLeg PivotAdjustment

SOLO’s Shoulder Carry Strap can be used looped (both ends attached to the mounting point on the bowl), to carry the tripod on one shoulder,

OR

it can be used attached to the bowl and the Leg Strap “D” ring, to carry the tripod across your back with fluid head towards the ground.

The leg to bowl pivot joint on the SOLO tripod should have no lateral movement and should swing with a firm, smooth resistance. As this is a spreader-less tripod, the leg pivot joint requires sufficient resistance to hold the tripod legs together while being hand carried. Adjustment is usually not required, however, should it become necessary, the following procedure must be observed.

1 Lay tripod on a flat surface with legs closed in transport position.

2Using 17mm spanner (supplied), gently tighten nut to achieve firm, smooth movement of

the leg while still having sufficient tension to hold the legs together when tripod is being hand carried.

3 Check leg resistance by swinging leg fully open (using leg angle adjuster) and ensure that all legs open with a similar degree of effort. Tighten or

loosen bolts as necessary.

Important: Remember not to over- tighten as this may cause too much

resistance when swinging the legs open.
