FAQs

What is the maximum load capacity of the tripod and the head?

The tripod itself has a maximum load capacity of 10kg (22lb). The included Airhed Trinity head has a maximum load capacity of 5kg (11lb). It's important to consider the head's limit when mounting your camera and lens.

Can I use this tripod for both photography and videography?

Yes, the Airhed Trinity head's fluid action and 360-degree panning base make it suitable for smooth video recording, while the stability and adjustability are excellent for still photography.

How do I convert a leg into a monopod?

One of the tripod legs can be detached and converted into a monopod. Specific instructions involve unscrewing certain sections and reassembling them. Please refer to the product manual for a detailed step-by-step guide.

What type of camera mount does the head use?

The Airhed Trinity head features a 38mm Arca-Swiss compatible clamp, which is a widely used standard in camera accessories.

How compact is the tripod when folded?

The Patti 2.0 tripod kit folds down to a very compact size of approximately 45cm (17.7 inches), making it highly portable.

What material is the tripod made from?

The tripod is constructed from sturdy magnesium alloy, known for its strength and lightweight properties.

Troubleshooting

Tripod legs won't lock securely.

Ensure the flip locks are clean and free from dirt or grit. If the locking tension feels loose, consult the manufacturer's documentation for adjustment procedures.

Camera head movement is not smooth.

Check that the camera and plate are securely mounted. Ensure any tension adjustment knobs on the Airhed Trinity head are set correctly for your desired resistance. Clean the panning base if debris is present.

Monopod conversion is difficult.

Ensure you are following the correct procedure for detaching and reassembling the leg as a monopod, as detailed in the product manual. Make sure all locking mechanisms are disengaged before attempting detachment.
