Using your tripod

To set up your tripod:

1Open the flip-lever leg locks on each leg (two per leg, for a total of six) and extend the legs to the desired length.

2Close the flip-lever leg locks to lock the legs at the selected length.

Caution: Incorrectly securing a leg lock can cause the tripod leg to retract unexpectedly and could result in damage to the tripod or to the attached camera or camcorder.

3Press the variable leg angle release at the top of each tripod leg to spread the legs to the first preset angle. When each leg has been locked into the first preset angle, set the tripod on a firm surface.

4Adjust the center column by releasing the center column locking knob, raising the center column to the desired height, then tightening the center column’s quick-release clamp knob.

5To remove the mounting plate, press down on the quick-release clamp knob, then press the safety lock pin and lift the plate away from the head.

6Secure your camera to the mounting plate with the 1/4" screw on the bottom of the plate. Tighten the

screw firmly to avoid unintended lateral movement of your device.
