HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT
Attach your camera to the tripod using the quick-release standard 1/4” X 20 threaded
screw. Be sure to hold your camera securely when adjusting the tripod’s legs and head.
Make sure that the area to which your tripod will be secured is clean, dry and suitable to
support the tripod and camera. Maximum load capacity of 16 oz. for this tripod is
dependent upon surface shape, texture, size and how it is used.
To secure your tripod’s legs to an object, take each leg of the tripod and wrap it around the
item that you intend to mount, making sure that each of the rubberized rings on the tripod’s
leg segments makes contact with the object.
You can mount your tripod in any number of ways (see some examples below). Or, even
use it as tabletop tripod. Never mount the tripod upside-down!

included in your family pictures. You can also take steady, sharp closeups, great
low light and nighttime scenics or indoor photos! Your new tripod’s versatile “take

tal camera or camcorder. You’ll never want to be without it.
