Pozi-Loc leg clamp, which provides quick set-up and easy adjust- ment. The tripods are designed for use with Vinten floor spreaders and dollies. An optional mid-level spreader may be used. Low-level ‘baby-legs’ versions are also available, fitted with a simple cleat rope spreader.
Operation NOTE: The following procedures refer to a two-stage tripod fitted with a Vision head and a floor spreader. The procedure for single-stage tripods is essentially similar. When using a two-stage tripod the bottom stages should be fully extended or fully retracted, unless conditions such as split levels prevent this. Lift the complete tripod and head out of the case using the finger holes just below the top clamps.
Optional equipment 'Spread-Loc' mid-level spreader To install the spreader: Grip the ends of each spreader arm in turn between thumb and fore-finger and press in the attachment release buttons (9). Push the arm into the tripod attachment until the release engages. Fit the carpet feet (10).
Carrying strap A carrying strap is available as an optional accessory and is installed as follows: 150 mm bowl tripods On the underside of the tripod bowl, identify the M6 tapped hole (18). Position the bowl strap anchor (17) on the underside of the tripod bowl, ensuring it is cor- rectly oriented.

Attention to the following points will ensure a long and useful service life with minimum need for repair. Cleaning During indoor use, the only cleaning required should be a regular wipe over with a lint-free cloth.
