Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Extend the three-section legs by releasing the flip locks.
- Adjust the leg angle using the lever on each leg, selecting the desired angle for stability or low-level shots.
- Extend the center column to reach the desired maximum height, ensuring the column lock is secured.
- Attach the quick-release plate to your camera's base using the included screw.
- Mount the camera by sliding the quick-release plate onto the head's bracket until it clicks securely.
- Use the pan and tilt locks on the fluid head to secure your camera's position.
Compatibility:
This tripod is compatible with most camcorders, mirrorless cameras, and DSLR cameras that have a standard 1/4" or 3/8" tripod mounting screw. The quick-release plate typically accommodates both sizes, or an adapter may be included.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the carbon fibre legs and metal components with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the tripod in a dry place, preferably in its carrying bag, to protect it from dust and moisture.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the flip locks to ensure they are functioning correctly. Lightly lubricate the fluid head mechanism if it becomes stiff, following manufacturer recommendations.
