FAQs
What is the maximum height of the tripod?
The tripod can be extended up to a maximum height of 45cm when the center upright is fully extended.
What is the minimum height?
The minimum height is 20cm when the center upright is fully retracted.
Can I use this tripod for my fishing rod?
Yes, it is designed as a fishing tripod and can support fishing rods. You may need to add a standard fishing rod rest to the top.
How do I attach a camera to this tripod?
You will need a camera adapter, such as the 'Camera Angle' or 'Camera Adaptor' from Gardner Tackle, which screws onto the top of the tripod.
Is this tripod suitable for soft ground?
While the adjustable legs offer some stability, this tripod is primarily designed for hard ground, platforms, or firm surfaces. It may not be stable on very soft or muddy terrain.
How does it fold for transport?
The legs fold inwards towards the center upright for a compact and easy-to-transport form.
What are the benefits of the brass collar and top?
The brass components are more resistant to wear and tear, offering greater durability and longevity compared to plastic parts.
Troubleshooting
Tripod is wobbly
Ensure all legs are fully extended to their desired positions and that the center upright thumbscrew is tightened securely. Adjust leg angles for maximum stability on the surface.
Thumbscrew is difficult to turn
Check for any debris or dirt around the screw threads. Gently clean the threads. Avoid overtightening.
Rod rest or camera adapter does not fit securely
Verify that the rod rest or adapter is designed for standard tripod threads. Ensure it is screwed in straight and tightened firmly.
