Parts Identification
PRIMARY TRIPOD - SHOWN ASSEMBLED
The basic primary tripod is built using the primary legs, adjustable yoke, and standard center
column.
PRIMARY LEGS
The system includes 3 28mm carbon fiber primary
legs. Each leg has a removable rubber foot. These legs
can be assembled into the PRIMARY TRIPOD, used
alone or along with the center column to build a
monopod/videopod, assembled into a trekking pod, or assembled together to create a boom arm. Each leg has a 3/8”
mounting screw that can be used to mount most standard tripod heads. Hint: Use the leg with the foam grip when
building a monopod or a trekking pod.
ADJUSTABLE YOKE
The adjustable yoke is used to build the primary tripod or the compact tripod. The three
position leg angle adjustments allow for low angle shooting.

STANDARD CENTER COLUMN
The standard center column can used in the primary tripod, compact tripod, monopod and
boom arm configurations. It’s components include a reversible ¼-20 / 3/8” mounting screw
that allows mounting of most tripod heads or cameras directly; a removable mounting plate
and hand strap; and a removable weight hook.
COMPACT TRIPOD LEGS
The AI428C system includes 3 quick adjusting compact tripod legs. To extend or retract,
twist the leg section to loosen the leg, set the desired length and twist the leg section to
lock in place. The compact tripod legs can be used to build a table top tripod along with
the yoke and center column. The rubber feet from the primary legs or the spiked feet can
be used with these legs. They can also be added to the primary tripod to make a giant
tripod with a working height of almost 85” or combined to make a boom or “selfie stick”.
The mounting thread size of 3/8” will accommodate most standard tripod heads.
SHORT CENTER COLUMN
The short center column can replace the standard center column.
It allows for extreme low angle shooting. It has a reversible ¼ - 20 / 3/8”
mounting screw to accommodate most tripod heads or cameras.
BASIC TWO-WAY CAMERA HEAD
The basic two-way camera head can be
used to mount a camera or the mobile
phone holder to the tripod / monopod
/ or boom. The basic head is perfect in
the “selfie stick” configuration.
MOBILE PHONE MOUNT
The mobile phone mount allows you to mount many smart phones with a camera to the AI428C
system components. It mounts to a ¼ - 20 thread and can be attached to the basic head or center
columns directly. An ideal component when building a “selfie stick”.

ADJUSTABLE ANGLE BOOM MOUNT
The adjustable angle boom mount mounts to the tripod or monopod and allows you to use your
camera at a variety of angles. This is particularly useful when photographing documents, artwork,
or other flat objects. In addition, you can use this mount to mount a camera or microphone boom
to the tripod. The adjustable tension panning feature gives you more precise control of your
boom.
MONOPOD STABILIZER STAND
Attach the monopod component to this stand to get extra stability
and smoother panning when using the monopod to shoot video.
LEG SPIKES
Replace the rubber feet on the tripod or monopod with these leg spikes to add extra
stability outdoors on uneven surfaces. The leg spike is also a key component when
building a trekking pod.
TREKKING POD GRIP
The trekking pod grip adds a comfortable surface to grip when using the trekking
pod component of the AI428C
