To rotate the camera left or right, loosen the Panning lock knob. When you want to lock in at a certain position, tighten the Knob.
For vertical position shots with your still camera, Ioosen the Vertical tilt lock knob, and tilt the Camera platform to the desired position.
Then lock the vertical tilt lock knob.

Flip up the Leg lock lever to extend or shorten any of the individual leg sections to the desired length, and press the leg lock lever flush against the leg to lock.
For greater stableness, use the thicker leg columns first.
Holding two legs, one in each hand, tilt the tripod on its third leg.
Pull the two legs you are holding outward, and all three legs will open at once. Open until the Center column ring is seated at the very bottom of the Center column.
To close the legs, be sure to first raise the Center column ring up slightly, and then push the legs close.

Loosen the Center column locking collar, and turn the Elevation crank handle to raise or lower the Center column.
Always be certain to tighten the Locking collar before taking your hands off the Crank handle to prevent accidental falls.
The “Center lock” mechanism featured in this model prevents unwanted camera movements which often occurs when tightening the center column.
Use the Center column tension adjustment tube located around the Center column if you wish to adjust the tension of the center column movement.
Rotate the tube counterclockwise to increase tension. For less tension, rotate clockwise.
