extendable leg sections and one fixed section which is connnected to
tripod collar. All of the legs are keyed, meaning they will not rotate
the

leg sections in any order. For the best stability it is recommended you
open and use the leg sections from biggest (largest diameter) to littlest
(smallest diameter). In other words, extend the largest sections first and
proceed in descending order.
Wrap your hand around one of the
direction (oriented with the tripod upright and facing you). This will
unlock it. 1/4 turn is all that is necessary to unlock each of them. Do not
rotate the lock any further. If you rotate a

the leg lock in the opposite direction to tighten it and hold the leg in
place. You do not need to apply very much force due to the special design
of these locks. Please be sure not to overtighten the
