The Chronicle tripod has 3 working angles for the legs: 22º, 50º, & 80º. Each leg angle
can be adjusted independently. Most of the time, you will set all 3 legs to the same
angle. However, in some cases (such as uneven ground) you may choose to set the
legs at different angles to achieve the best overall stability.
When the Chronicle's legs are in a closed position, meaning they are pushed
together, you can simply pull on each leg until it stops in leg angle position #1 (22º).
This is the most common and most used position for the tripod.
To adjust the leg angle beyond position #1, take ahold of a leg near its top. Pull out

the leg's widest leg angle position #3 (80º). You can keep the leg at this angle or
continue pushing it in until the leg clicks into its next angle #2 (50º). Again, you can
stop here or continue on to the first angle postion #1 (22º).
Anytime you want to use a smaller leg angle (and are moving to it from a wider
leg angle), simply push in on the leg. When you want to open a leg to a wider
angle always pull out the
