THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING AXLER.

The Axler VM-2307CF Spruce is a professional four-section

video monopod with a ﬂuid head. This monopod provides

you with twist locks to quickly extend each section up to 80

in. (203 cm) for overhead shots, or collapse the monopod

down to 28 in. (71 cm) for low-angle shooting. Three locking

feet help the monopod to reinforce stabilization, which can

lessen the stress on your arm when holding your camera

rig for long hours. The ﬂuid head provides smooth pan-and-

tilt motion and has a large handle that extends and offers

enhanced camera handling. A quick-release plate is included,

affording you the ability to mount or dismount your camera

with ease.

QUICK-RELEASE PLATE

The quick-release plate allows you to speedily mount

and dismount your camera with 1/4 in. and 3/8 in.

mounting studs. The studs can be stored in the

appropriate accessory sockets when not in use.

1. Loosen the quick-release plate locking knob.

2. Press the safety button, and slide the plate out of the

receiver.

3. Attach the quick-release plate to the bottom of your

camera, using either of the mounting studs.

4. Insert the camera/plate assembly into the plate receiver

while pressing the safety button.

5. Tighten the quick-release plate locking knob.

EXTENDING THE MONOPOD

There are four sections with twist locks that allow you to

customize the length of the monopod.

1. With one hand around the padded grip, twist one of the

locks clockwise a quarter-turn, and extend the section.

2. Twist the lock counterclockwise to tighten and lock the

section in place.

Note: It is possible to use one hand to twist all of the locks at

the same time and extend all sections at once. Then you

can lock each section one at a time.

VIDEO PAN HANDLE

The handle can be used on either side of the ﬂuid head and is

able to extend to allow for better camera handling.

1. Rotate the handle’s twist lock clockwise to loosen.

2. Extend the handle.

3. Rotate the twist lock counterclockwise to tighten.

USING THE MONOPOD FEET

To reinforce stabilization, ﬂip out the feet until they lock

into position.

The feet have an

integrated ballhead.

To move the monopod

on its vertical axis:

1. Loosen the pivot

locking wheel.

2. Use the hex key to

loosen the pivot tension

screw, located under the

rubber pad. If the ballhead

moves too easily, slightly tighten the tension screw

until you arrive at the desired ballhead tension.

3. Loosen or tighten the pivot locking wheel to adjust

the range of motion away from the vertical axis.

It is recommended to always keep a hand

on the monopod while in use.

To fold the feet, press each foot lock, and move

the feet to the folded position. This will expose the

rubber pad that you can rest the monopod on.

To remove the feet, use the hex key to loosen the foot set

screw, and then rotate the feet clockwise to unscrew them.

When detached, the feet can be used as a

tabletop tripod by attaching a tripod head.

To attach the alternate rubber pad, screw it into the base

socket and use the hex key to tighten the foot set screw.

REPLACING THE HEAD

You can switch out or replace the ﬂuid head with the

included 3 mm hex key:

1. Use the 3 mm hex key to loosen (but not remove) all of

the three screws underneath the baseplate, It may be

necessary to rotate the wrist strap out of the way to

expose all of the screws.

2. Rotate the head counterclockwise to remove it.

3. Seat the replacement head onto the mounting stud, and

rotate clockwise until secure.

If necessary, you can reverse the 1/4 in. or 3/8 in. mounting

stud to attach the head:

1. Loosen the baseplate’s top hex set screw.

2. Rotate the baseplate counterclockwise.

3. Reinsert the stud, and rotate the base clockwise

until fully tightened.

4. Tighten the baseplate’s top hex set screw.
