  • Page 5: Basic Functionality

    Basic Functionality The Tri-Mount Plate comes with three hollow ends (a), for connecting your strap or carabiner, six 1/4” threaded holes (b) and one 3/8” threaded hole in the centre. The central bolt can be removed and has both 1/4” and 3/8” threads. In the base of the centre column is a D-Ring (c), which is used to connect either your strap, for carrying, or the bag (e), for ballast, using the carabiner (d).
  • Page 6 Basic Functionality To remove the centre column, unscrew the D-Ring (a), and the collar (b). You can then pull out the column (c), and completely remove the collar (b). Your Tri-Mount Plate (d) should be unscrewed from the other end of the column, and then carefully screwed directly to the canopy (e).
  • Page 7 The Para-Locks (a) are designed to prevent accidental disassembly of the legs and column, and add additional strength to the mechanism and tripod. If the Para-Lock (a) seems locked, but the leg section is not firmly locked, then the Para-Lock is locked in the open position.
  • Page 8 Additional Clamp Function Both Switch and Pano-clamps can be detached from the ball head and mounted directly to the tripod canopy. This is particularly useful as a quick release mechanism for the monopod leg. In the centre of the clamp is a hex screw (a). Undo this with the tools provided.
