Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tripod, first extend the main frame to your desired length using the double-extending cam locks. Deploy the front legs and use the individual leg cam locks to level the unit on uneven ground. Attach your rod rests or alarms to the buzz bars using the quick-release cam switches.
Regarding compatibility, the inclusion of standard threads allows you to use your existing rests if the quick-release system is not preferred. For maintenance, ensure the cam locks are cleaned of grit and mud after every session to prevent sticking. If the tripod is used in saltwater or muddy conditions, a light rinse with fresh water and a wipe-down before storage will extend the life of the cam mechanisms.
