Troubleshooting
Legs feel wobbly or unstable.
Ensure all flip locks are fully closed and securely fastened. Check if the leg angle locks are properly engaged. For heavier setups, ensure the load capacity is not exceeded and consider using the optional spiked feet for better traction.
Flip locks are difficult to open or close.
Gently clean the flip lock mechanism with a dry cloth. If the issue persists, a very small amount of silicone lubricant on the moving parts might help, but avoid over-lubrication.
Tripod won't stand steady on uneven surfaces.
Utilize the adjustable leg angles to find a stable position. Employ the 85° leg angle setting for very low positions. If shooting on soft ground (grass, dirt), use compatible spiked feet for better grip.
Mounting screw is loose or stripped.
Ensure you are using the correct thread size (1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16) for your camera or head. If the screw itself is damaged, contact customer support for a replacement part.
