ANATOMY OF A TRIPOD:
We offer three leg angles that we consider to be optimum for using a tripod. They are 23˚,
55˚ & 80˚. Each angle has its own merits.

Interchangeable plates
Bag attachment
If you are using the at plate and
wish to attach the carry bag for
extra ballast, clip the bag on to the
hook on the underside of the at
plate using the carabiner at the
end of the bag.
Nicky and Tommy come complete with both at plate and bowl mount options. To swap
these over, use the mini tool (a) to unscrew the hex screws (b) swap the plates over and
screw the hex screws back in place until they are tight.

In order to change the leg angle or to stow away
your tripod you will need to press down on the
Rapid Latch (a) manoeuvre the leg into the desired
position and then release the catch.
To open and extend the tripod legs simply grip the
twist locks in your hand, quarter turn, loosening
the legs allowing you to select a desired height.
Once the required height has been obtained, lock
the legs in place by rotating back to the original
position, which will fully engage the leg lock. The
friction locks do not require to be undone further
than a half turn, unless you intend to completely
disassemble the legs for cleaning.
Legs, catches & locks
a
It is advised that you wash your tripod after
using it in salt water, sand, dirt or mud and
this can be done by undoing each leg. Take
each individual leg lock and unscrew until
completely undone, and gently pull the tubing
(a) out, being careful not to lose the nylon shim
(b) (chicken lips), allowing you to clean the
threads of the legs. Once cleaned, dry all the
parts with a clean cloth. Do not leave them to
air dry. Then ensure that the chicken lips are in
place and then carefully insert the leg, lining up
the internal slot with the gap (c) in the chicken
lips, and tighten the leg lock in place.
Cleaning

Never use WD40 on your tripod as it can be a solvent.
Always use silicone grease.

All three legs can be unscrewed
directly from the leg hinge (a) and
used as monopods or boom arms.
The three detachable legs give
you the option to convert to a
table-top tripod. Un-screw all three
legs directly from the hinge(a).
Screw your choice of footwear*
into the thread where your legs
were previously attached. Ensure
your footwear is screwed in tightly
at all times to prevent losing them.
With Nicky and Tommy, we
recommend using the at plate for
this set up to allow you to attach a
tripod head
