Decide whether you will need the ground spikes or the rubber feet. If you are shooting outdoors and setting up on soft ground, the spikes can give you more stability. 7 Set the Pan Angle Release the pan lock, if necessary, and rotate the head to set the head in the direction you will be shooting. Retighten the pan lock. 2 Adjust Feet Extend the ground spikes by rotating the rubber pads clockwise until the spikes are exposed. Or turn the rubber pads counter-clockwise to retract the spikes. 8 Level the Head Release the ball level lock. Balance the tripod head by referring to the bubble level. Retighten the ball level lock. 3 Release Transport Clip 4 The tripod legs can be held together for safe transport by fixing the transport clip. Pull the loop to release the clip and free the legs. 9 Remove the Mounting Plate Release the mounting plate lock, if necessary. Remove the mounting plate by pressing the release button and sliding the plate free. Extend Legs Always extend the legs from the top flip-locks first. Pull up on each flip-lock and extend the leg to its desired height. Relock each leg. 10 Mount Camera to Plate 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, making certain that the plate is placed at the camera’s center of gravity. Tearing Down Your Tripod Tilt Lock Pan Lock 13 Start Shooting If you do not need to pan or tilt during your shot, keep the pan and tilt knobs locked. 14 Pan Release the pan lock knob. Using the pan/tilt bar, move the tripod left or right to pan. 15 Tilt Release the tilt lock knob. Using the pan/tilt bar, move the tripod up or down to tilt. Unmount the camera from the tripod head by pressing the mounting plate release button and sliding the camera out. Bring the tripod legs together, collapsing the mid-level spreader. Release the flip-locks on the legs and slide the leg extensions back to their closed position. Secure the flip locks. Extend the rubber feet back over the ground spikes, if necessary. Fix the transport clip over the legs and store the tripod in its carry case. 6 5 Spread the Tripod 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. 11 Mount Camera to Tripod Make certain that your tripod legs are locked and the tripod is stable and ready for mounting your camera. Slide the mounting plate onto the tripod head. Set its position where the camera is the most balanced. Retighten the mounting plate lock firmly. Set the Tilt Release the tilt lock, if necessary, and set the tilt so that the head is flat and ready for mounting your camera. Retighten the tilt lock. 12 Install Pan/Tilt Bar The pan/tilt bar can be installed on the left or right. Fit the threaded stud into the mount and tighten the lock knob. The mount serrations allow you to mount the pan/tilt bar at any angle securely.
