calumet 7500 tripod
Leg Extension and Setup
One leg at a time, unlock the
top quick-release leg lock (A)
and pull out the top telescoping
section all the way and relock
quick-release. Repeat until top
section of all three legs are fully extended. If additional
height adjustment is required, unlock the bottom quick-
release leg lock (B) of each leg individually and extend to
desired height.
Next, using both hands, pull two of the legs away from
the center column (C) and touch tip of third leg to ground
and pull the two legs towards you until leg angle is equal
on all three legs.
Leg Angle
Adujustment
Each leg can be set
to three different leg
angles of spread.
Pull each leg away
from the center
column and it will
automatically lock
into the first position.
To change the angle
of a leg, push leg in
slightly, press down
on the silver button at
the top of the leg (D) and begin to pull out the leg. If you
release the button, the leg will lock into the second
position. To set leg spread at the third position, repeat
procedure. To adjust leg angle more than one position at
a time, hold the button down until leg is near desired
angle and release, then pull leg out or push in until leg
locks into place at desired angle. To return to a previous
leg-angle or original position, simply push leg back in
towards center column.
Extreme Low-angle
Shooting
This tripod is equipped with
a split-shaft column
allowing you to remove the
lower section for extreme
low-angle positioning of
your camera on the tripod. Simply unscrew the lower section
and pull the three legs out to their widest-angle setting.
Excercise care not to harm the threads at the bottom of the
top section of the column while the lower section is removed.
Center Column
Height Adjustment
To release and raise the
center column, simply turn
the column-lock knob
counterclockwise and lift up
on column to desired height
and turn lock knob back into
locked position.
Mounting and
Removing a
Camera Head
Mount the camera head
on the plate at the top of
the center column via the
⁄
" mounting thread (F) by
turning head clockwise.
Raise the center column
and, with a small
screwdriver, tighten the three set screws on the underside of
the plate (G) against the base of the head. This will prevent
the head from unscrewing accidentally during use. To
remove the head, loosen the set screws and unscrew the
head from the column plate.
