Step 6 –For safety reasons, please always make sure to
test the stability and safety of the product before use.
Double check all nuts and bolts, knobs and connectors,
make sure that these are tight and securely fastened
before mounting items. As a general rule the higher the
height of the system, the less stable the stand will be
and less weight can be mounted. Additionally, spread
the legs wider for a more secure and balanced stand
especially if the stand will be carrying heavy items. The
wider the legs are the more stable the stand will be.
Also, make sure that the weight is evenly distributed
throughout the stand system. Heavier equipment loads
need to be installed near the tripod stand, while lighter
ones can be mounted on the middle truss or further
away from the tripod stand.
