BASIC ADJUSTMENTS
Tilt Action
The leveling head’s tilt can be adjusted by unlocking the
leveling head. This allows you to position your optic at the
desired angle, or pan the optic while glassing.
• To unlock the leveling head, rotate the Leveling Head
Locking Knob clockwise (viewing from the top) until
the leveling head moves freely. Adjust to your desired
position and lock the leveling head.
• To lock the leveling head, rotate the Leveling Head
Locking Knob counter-clockwise (viewing from the top)
until you feel tension on the knob. Do not overtighten.
Attaching Optics to Radian™Leveling Head
The leveling head uses Arca-Swiss style quick-release plates. To mount your optic to
the tripod:
1. Twist the Quick-Release Locking Knob counter-clockwise to remove the Quick-Release Plate.
2. Attach the plate to your optic. Be sure to tighten the Mount Bolt from the bottom side of the
plate and flip the D-ring so it lies flat.
3. Place the Quick-Release Plate back into the tripod head and turn the Quick-Release Locking
Knob clockwise to securely lock the plate in the head.
NOTE: To mount binoculars to the tripod, a binocular
adapter is required. Purchase Vortex®binocular adapters
from your local dealers.
NOTE: Some optics are designed to be Arca-Swiss
compatible and can be mounted to the tripod head without
the need for plates.
TIP: Purchase additional quick-release plates for your
optics so it is easy for you to switch equipment.
