Troubleshooting

Leg locks are stiff or difficult to turn

Ensure there is no dirt or debris obstructing the twist locks. Clean the affected areas with a dry cloth or a soft brush. If stiffness persists, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the inside of the lock mechanism, but use sparingly.

Tripod feels unstable with a heavy camera

Verify that all leg locks are fully tightened and that the tripod legs are spread to a stable angle. Ensure the center column (if applicable and extended) is locked down securely. Check that the load capacity of 18kg is not exceeded.

Monopod conversion is difficult

Make sure the leg is fully detached from the tripod body by unlocking all relevant sections. Ensure the monopod attachment point is clean and free of obstructions.

  • High stability with a substantial weight capacity.

  • Relatively lightweight for its build quality and capacity.
  • Comes with useful accessories for transport and different terrains.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the tripod, extend the legs to the desired height using the twist locks. Ensure all locks are securely fastened before mounting your camera. To convert to a monopod, unlock and detach one leg, then attach the monopod wrist strap if desired. The included stainless steel spikes can be swapped with the rubber feet for use on soft ground or slippery surfaces.

Compatibility: The tripod head mounting screw is standard 3/8"-16, compatible with most professional ball heads, pan-tilt heads, and gimbals. Its robust build makes it suitable for DSLR, mirrorless, and video cameras.

Care: After use in wet or dusty environments, wipe down all surfaces with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. Periodically check the leg locks for debris and clean if necessary to ensure smooth operation. Avoid prolonged exposure to saltwater and rinse with fresh water if contact occurs.
