Setting Up Your Tripod

Float
Level

1

Assess Shooting Area

To set up your tripod, begin by removing the
tripod from the box and/or carry case. Assess
your shooting area to determine a stable area
to set up your camera.

4

Raise Center Column

If you need to raise the center column, unlock
the center column by turning the locking knob
counterclockwise. Use the hand crank to raise
or lower the head platform. Never raise or lower
the head by pushing or pulling it.

7

Remove the Mounting Plate

Rotate the mounting plate lock so that the
flat side is against the mounting plate. The
mounting plate will pop free.

2

Extend Legs

3

Always extend the legs from the top flip-locks
first. Pull each flip-lock and extend the leg to its
desired height. Match the length of the legs and
relock the flip-locks.

5

Set the Tilt

8

Plant the front leg of the tripod. Lift the back two
legs and pull back to spread the tripod to the
full extension of the mid-level spreader. Check
the float level to verify that the tripod is level.
Readjust the legs if necessary. Lock the mid-level
spreader by rotating the knob clockwise.

6

Release the tilt lock. Using the tilt/pan bar, set
the tilt so that the head is level and ready for
mounting your camera. Retighten the tilt lock.

Mount Camera to Plate

Set the Pan Angle

Release the pan lock. Using the tilt/pan bar,
rotate the head to set it in the direction you will
be shooting. Retighten the pan lock.

Attach the mounting plate to your camera.
Be certain that the retractable alignment pin
sets into its pocket on the camera. Screw the
threaded stud on the plate into the bottom of
the camera.

Spread the Tripod

Mount Camera to Tripod

Make certain that your tripod legs are locked
and the tripod is stable and ready for mounting
your camera. From the right side of the tripod,
slide the mounting plate down and left onto
the tripod head. Push down until the mounting
plate clicks.

to its closed position. Secure the flip-locks.
Release the pan and tilt locks and fold the tilt/

Store in Carry Case

Store your tripod in its carry case until the
next shoot. You can leave the mounting plate
attached to your camera for quick mounting.

Quick-Release Plate for VT-100/200/300 Tripod
Magnus offers a spare or replacement quick-release plate for the VT-100/200/300 tripod head. Having a
quick-release plate attached to the camera’s base at all times allows you to attach or remove the camera from
the tripod without having to waste time fumbling with the threaded mount. Your VT-100/200/300 Tripod
includes one quick-release plate, but you may want to have spares for other cameras. The Magnus VT-QRP10
(for VT-100/200) or QRP30 (for VT300) has a 1/4˝-20 mounting stud and a retractable register pin for correct
camera positioning. The anti-skid mounting surface stabilizes the camera.
