INSTRUCTION MANUAL
CAUTION: While the mini tripod stand can help stabilize
the monopod while in use, it is not designed to support an
unattended camera or spotting scope. Always maintain a
rm grip on your camera or spotting scope with one hand
– even when the mini tripod stand is deployed – to prevent

Figure 5. Opening the lock/release lever allows the dovetail mounting
plate to be lifted out of its seat. Attach your camera, spotting scope, or
binocular adapter to the plate’s ¼"-20 threaded post. To reinstall the plate,
place it over the seat and press it down rmly to snap the spring-loaded
lock/release lever into the locked position.
Figure 6. A great feature of the Tritech II-M Monopod is the ability to
couple the pan head directly to the mini tripod stand, to create a versatile,
low-prole “tabletop” tripod. Just unscrew the pan head and the mini tripod
stand assembly from their respective ends of the monopod column, then
screw the pan head onto the exposed threaded post of the mini tripod
stand until it’s tight.

adjustment
Figure 4. Rotate the knurled tilt adjustment ring near the bottom of
the monopod up or down to allow a greater or lesser amount of tilt,
respectively. Allowing more tilt can be useful when photographing or
observing moving subjects
