7.
To
adjust the height
of
the tripod, each leg has telescopic sections that can
be
released and
extended: open the lever on the leg locking collar, slide the inner section in or out until the
desired extension
is
reached, then close the locking lever again.
Leg
sections should be
extended
in
order, from
top
to bottom (widest section first, narrowest section last),
to
reach
the required tripod height. Using the leg sections with larger diameters makes the tripod
more stable.
8.
For optimal stability, the tripod's centre column should only really
be
used
as
the final means
of
height adjustment,
or
as
a way
of
reaching the tripod's maximum extension.
Turn
the col-
umn lock knob anti-clockwise to release the column
(1),
then extend the column to the de-
sired height
(2).
9.
To
lockthe centre column at the desired height, close the knob
by
turning it clockwise.
