SETTING UP THE TRIPOD
1 The tripod comes preassembled so that the set up is very easy
2 Stand the tripod upright and pull the tripod legs outward until
each leg is fully extended (Figure 3)
3 You can raise the tripod legs to the height you desire At the
lowest level the height is about 16” (41 cm) and extends to
about 49” (125 cm)
4 To raise the height of the tripod, you unlock the tripod leg lock
clamps at the bottom of each tripod leg (Figure 4) by opening the
clamp for each section by pulling outward Once a clamp is
unlocked, then pull the tripod leg out as far as it will go and then
close the leg lock to secure it Continue doing this for each
tripod leg and each section to raise the height to the level you
desire A fully extended tripod looks similar to the image in Figure
5 With all the legs raised up on all sections, the height will be
about 42” (107 cm)
5 If you want to raise the tripod height up further you must use the
central column locking knob which is the knob located at the
bottom left in Figure 6 Turn the locking knob counterclockwise
until loose Then, pull up on the head of the tripod and the
central column will move up Continue pulling to the height you
desire and then tighten the locking knob When the central
column is raised up as far as it will go, then the maximum height
possible is achieved – 49” (125 cm)
