Low angle shot conguration (see gure 5): For low angle shots you will

need to remove the Tall Center Axis Shaft and install the Short Center Axis

Shaft (follow steps in gure 4 for proper ballhead installation). Adjust legs to

widest angle. Adjust Short Center Axis Shaft to desired height.

Installing Metal Spikes (see gure 6): remove the rubber feet from the

bottom of each tripod leg. Screw in metal spikes to a tight t.

Maintenance Tips: keep dust out of joints, latches, lock mechanisms, and o

of ballheads. Do not apply oil to any part of the tripod or ballhead. Remove

dust by blowing air on joints, latches, lock mechanism and ballheads. If legs

are sti and angles are hard to adjust, the pivot screws can be loosened slowly

until desired stiness is achieved. DO NOT over loosen.

Using the Monopod (see Figure 3): Detach the leg marked “Removeable

Monopod. Remove the ”Center Axis Shaft” and thread it onto the top of the

monopod leg. Adjust monopod to desired height.

Adjusting the Center Axis Shaft (see Figure 2): Unlock the shaft by twisting

counter clockwise on the rubber lock. Adjust Shaft to desiged height. Lock the

shaft into place by twisting clockwise on the rubber lock. Be sure to tighten

the center shaft adequately to prevent wobble.

Adjusting Leg Position and Length (see Figure 1): Legs are adjusted by

pulling down on the leg latch button and then adjusting the legs up or down.

There are three leg angles that the latches will lock into. Adjust the legs to the

desired angle and make sure the latch fully engages. DO NOT try and force the

latches out of their locked position without pulling the leg latch down. Once

the desired angle is achieved, you can extened the length of each leg by

twisting counter clockwise on any of the three rubber leg extension locks and

pulling the legs up or down. DO NOT force legs past their max extension. Twist

clockwise to tighten leg extensions once diesired length is achieved.

Attaching a ball head (see Figures 4a-d): Attach the ball head plate to the

Center Axis Shaft by inserting the short end of the Interface Screw into the

Ballhead Plate and tightly threading it into the top of the shaft (Figure 4a).

Thread in the anti-rotation hex screw into the “column” (Figure 4b). Tightly

thread the ballhead onto plate (Figure 4c). Thread the anti-rotation hex screw

into the ballhead from underneath the plate (Figure 4d). The anti rotation

screws only need to be snug, DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
