This product has been designed
to handle equipment weighing
under 2 kgs (4 lbs 6 oz).
Do not overload.
Some equipment weighing under
2 kgs (4 lbs 6 oz), such as long
lenses, may not balance well due
to its weight distribution. In such
case, please use a larger tripod.

Carrying a tripod with a camera
left on can result in unexpected
accidents.
We therefore, recommend you to
remove your camera while carrying
the tripod.

The retractable Camera positioning pin enables you to mount
either a video, or a still camera on
to the Quick release platform.
For still cameras, align the length of
the Platform along the baseplate of
the camera body, and tighten screw
into the tripod socket with a coin.

For video cameras, match the
Camera positioning pin of the
Platform to the corresponding hole
beneath the camera, and then tighten
screw into tripod socket with a coin.
Replacement Quick release platform
for the U 8000 is available. Cat. No.

Return Quick release platform back

an angle from the side closest to
the Quick release lock lever.

Attaching camera to the Quick release platform

How to use the 3 Way pan head

Panning lock knob

Pan handle

Slik’s 3 way Pan head allows your still, or video camera, three independent movements.

To rotate the camera left or right, loosen the Panning lock knob. When
you want to lock in at a certain position, tighten the Knob.

Turn the Pan handle barrel counterclockwise until you feel it loosen, and
you can tilt the camera up and down. When you have the angle you want,
tighten the Handle in a clockwise direction until it locks in.

For vertical position shots with your still camera, Ioosen the Vertical tilt
lock knob, and tilt the Camera platform to the desired position.
Then lock the vertical tilt lock knob.

Extending the tripod legs

How to open and close the tripod legs

Flip up the Leg lock lever to extend or shorten any of the individual leg
sections to the desired length, and press the leg lock lever flush against
the leg to lock.

Holding two legs, one in each hand, tilt the tripod on its third leg.
Pull the two legs you are holding outward, and all three legs will open at
once. Open until the Center column ring is seated at the very bottom of
the Center column.

For greater stableness, use the thicker leg columns first.

To close the legs, be sure to first raise the Center column ring up slightly,
and then push the legs close.

Elevating the center column

Adjusting elevation tension

Loosen the Center column locking collar, and turn the Elevation crank
handle to raise or lower the Center column.
Always be certain to tighten the Locking collar before taking your hands
off the Crank handle to prevent accidental falls.
The “Center lock” mechanism featured in this model prevents unwanted
camera movements which often occurs when tightening the center column.

Use the Center column tension adjustment tube located around the
Center column if you wish to adjust the tension of the center column
movement.
Rotate the tube counterclockwise to increase tension.
For less tension, rotate clockwise.
