• Do not oil or grease any part of the tripod.
• Do not use any solvents or thinners to clean your tripod.
Use only a mild detergent and wipe dry with only a soft,
lint-free cloth.

Using your tripod

To set up your tripod:

1 Open the flip-lever leg locks on each leg (two per leg, for
a total of six) and extend the legs to the desired length.
2 Close the flip-lever leg locks to lock the legs at the
selected length.
Caution: Incorrectly securing a leg lock can cause the tripod
leg to retract unexpectedly and could result in damage to
the tripod or to the attached camera or camcorder.
3 Press the variable leg angle release at the top of each
tripod leg to spread the legs to the first preset angle.
When each leg has been locked into the first preset
angle, set the tripod on a firm surface.
4 Adjust the center column by releasing the center
column locking knob, raising the center column
to the desired height, then tightening the center
column's quick-release clamp knob.
5 To remove the mounting plate, press down on
the quick-release clamp knob, then press the
safety lock pin and lift the plate away from the head.
6 Secure your camera to the mounting plate with the
1/4" screw on the bottom of the plate. Tighten the
screw firmly to avoid unintended lateral movement of your device.
