2. Using the Quick-Release Plate
To remove the quick-release plate, pull the locking lever of the plate outwards, the quick-release plate will then release and can be remo-
ved (see fig. 2).
3. Vertical Swivelling, Horizontal Turning and 90 Degree Shooting
– Turn the pan adjustment knob in the direction of the arrow to loosen, allowing for smooth panning.
Turn the knob in the opposite direction to tighten.
– Turn the tilt adjustment knob in the direction of the arrow to loosen it for smooth, consistent panning.
Turn the knob in the opposite direction to tighten.
– Turn the vertical lock knob in the direction of the arrow to adjust the angle of the support plate by 90°. Turn the knob in the opposite
direction to tighten (see fig. 3).
4. Raising and Lowering the Centre Column
– To raise or lower the centre column, turn the centre locking knob anticlockwise and adjust the column to the desired position. Hold the
column in position and turn the column locking knob clockwise to lock the column in place. Do not overtighten the centre column lock
as this may damage the thread (see fig. 4).
– The centre column can be removed and used as a monopod.
Turn the centre column anticlockwise and pull it out to adjust the height.
Turn the column clockwise to lock it in the desired position (see fig. 5).
5. Extend and Fold the Leg
Each leg section can be adjusted to the desired length by opening the leg lock lever. Pull the leg to the desired length. Once the desired
length is reached, close the flip-lock lever so that the leg section is securely locked. Repeat this step for each leg and section until the
tripod is set to the desired height (see fig. 6 and 7).
6. Weight Hook
If additional weight needs to be added to the tripod to give it more stability in windy conditions, a sandbag, camera bag or similar item
can be attached to the hook (see fig. 8).
Be careful not to overload the tripod with too much weight as this can have the opposite effect.
7. Operating the Side Arm
– Loosen the locking knob on the centre column and remove the centre column. Now insert it horizontally into the hole on the side of the
swivel arm and lock it with the locking knob (see fig. 8).
– Turn the twist-lock knob loose, the side arm can now be swivelled through 360°.
