Leg
Strap
Safety
The Leg Strap is attached to largest diameter leg tube (as delivered from factory) using ‘hook and loop’ tape.
The Leg strap also has a “D” ring attachment point for the shoulder strap if required. Check the Leg Strap periodically to ensure hook and loop tape is secure.
Maintenance
Regularly inspect tripod for damage or grit. Pay particular attention to carbon fibre tubes, concentric locks, leg angle adjusters, condition of bowl, feet and general operation of the tripod.
Keep grit and dirt out of leg angle adjusters. If leg angle adjusters or legs grind or stick during operation they may have grit in contact with their sliding surfaces. The affected parts will require disassembly and cleaning. Failure to do so may result in excessive wear and breakage of tripod components.
Regularly clean tripod with a damp rag or soft brush. Wipe off all sand, dust and salt spray. Do not clean with solvents, cleaning fluids, lubricants, polishes, abrasives or wire brushes.
Transport and store tripod in Miller bag or case wherever possible. Store tripod in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Read the Operator’s
Manual
Miller recommends that all camera support equipment should be carried in a carry bag to reduce the risk of accidental damage during transport. All Miller SOLO systems include a carry bag to protect the tripod and reduce exposure to dust and moisture during transport and storage.
Ensure that the weight of the camera/lens/battery payload mounted on your tripod does not exceed the recommended capacity of the fluid head. This will ensure that the tripod and fluid head you have chosen will operate to their specification. Note that any offset payload, such as a telephoto lens, will exert a forward offset load on the support system. Refer to your fluid head users guide to ensure these loads are properly balanced.
Never set up or pull down a tripod while a camera is mounted on it.
The camera base should be fastened to a suitable camera plate and tripod plate prior to mounting. The camera should be attached to the fluid head only after all tripod leg locks are positively engaged (in locked position) and the tripod is on a stable surface.
The safe operation of the tripod is the responsibility of the operator.
