Full details

What kind of warranty is offered?

Can I use this tripod for photography as well as video?

While optimized for video with its fluid head, it can certainly be used for photography, especially for stable shots where smooth movement might be beneficial during composition.

Troubleshooting

Camera is not level

Ensure the tripod legs are firmly planted on the ground and adjust their individual lengths until the spirit level on the head indicates perfect balance. Make sure the quick-release plate is securely fastened to the camera.

Fluid head movement is stiff or jerky

Check for any obstructions or debris around the fluid head mechanism. Ensure the camera is properly balanced on the head. If the issue persists, consult the manufacturer's warranty information for potential servicing.

Twist-lock legs are difficult to secure

Inspect the locks for any dirt or grit. Clean them gently with a dry cloth. Ensure the leg sections are fully extended before attempting to lock them.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Smooth fluid head for professional panning.
  • Quick and easy setup with twist-lock legs.
  • High payload capacity for heavy-duty equipment.
  • Extensive height range for versatile shooting.
  • Durable and stable aluminium construction.
  • Integrated spirit level for accurate leveling.

Cons

  • Minimum height of 855mm may be limiting for very low-angle shots.
  • Fluid head, while smooth, requires some practice for optimal use.
  • Can be heavy to transport due to robust construction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Extend the twist-lock legs by twisting the locks counter-clockwise.
  2. Adjust the legs to the desired height and lock them securely by twisting clockwise.
  3. Use the spirit level on the head to ensure the tripod is perfectly level, adjusting leg lengths as needed.
  4. Attach your camera to the quick-release plate and then secure the plate to the fluid head.

Compatibility: The tripod is compatible with any camera or camcorder that has a standard 1/4" or 3/8" tripod mount, thanks to its universal quick-release plate system. Its robust design makes it suitable for professional video cameras, DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and camcorders.

Care:

  • Regularly wipe down the legs and head with a soft, dry cloth.
  • For tougher dirt, use a slightly damp cloth, avoiding excessive moisture, especially around the fluid head.
  • Periodically check that all locks are secure and free from debris.
  • Store in a dry place, preferably with a protective bag, to prevent dust accumulation.
