Disassemble the locking collar, wipe away any sand or dirt with a clean microfiber cloth, and reassemble.
Verify that all independent leg angle locks are fully engaged and clicked into their respective stops.
Ensure you are unscrewing the correct leg segment and that the main load is removed from the tripod before attempting to detach.
To set up the Ethan, unlock the leg sections using the twist locks, extend to the desired length, and secure them with a firm turn. For standard shooting, ensure the legs are set at the same angle for optimal weight distribution.
Compatibility: The tripod features a standard mounting thread, making it compatible with almost all professional video heads and ball heads. Always ensure your camera plate is securely fastened before mounting your equipment.
Care: To ensure longevity, always wipe down the legs with a dry cloth after use, especially after shooting in sandy or salty environments. Regularly check the leg locks to ensure they are free of debris, as grit can cause friction. Store the tripod in a dry, ventilated area, and avoid using heavy lubricants on the locking mechanisms.
