Troubleshooting
Legs are difficult to extend or retract
The twist locks may have accumulated dust or sand. Fully unscrew the locks, clean the threads with a dry cloth, and ensure they are free of debris before reassembling.
Camera feels unstable on the ball head
Ensure the Arca-compatible quick-release plate is fully tightened to the camera body and the knob on the ball head is firmly locked.
Central column feels loose during use
Check that the MACC locking collar is fully tightened and that the column is correctly seated within the pivot hinge.

- Compact folding design for travel

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tripod, simply rotate the twist locks to extend the legs to your desired height. To utilize the MACC, unlock the central column collar, pivot the column to your preferred angle, and tighten securely. The Arca-compatible plate allows for rapid camera switching, provided your camera is equipped with an Arca-Swiss style plate. To maintain the longevity of the carbon fibre legs, always ensure the twist locks are tightened properly. After using the tripod in harsh environments like the beach, wipe down the legs with a damp cloth and ensure the twist locks are free of sand by partially disassembling and cleaning them if necessary. Store the tripod in the included padded bag when not in use to prevent cosmetic damage during transit.
