very simple, fast and secure due to the new bayonet catch.

The rubber tip is released by turning counterclockwise (Fig. 1, Pos. 1) and can then be simply
shoved over the steel tip (Fig 1, Pos. 2). By turning clockwise (Fig. 2, Pos. 3), the rubber tip is
locked in place and when this is done it then forms a water tight connection with the metal
and the carbon tube. Due to this, the inside of the tripod is always protected against water and
dirt in an outside area.

However, if water should enter the tripod leg then this can be drained out by turning the tripod
upside down.

With the automatic locking system, the unfolding and the folding up of the FLM­Centerpod is accomplished with just a few movements.

To fold up the tripod, the legs are swiveled downwards (Fig. 3) and then moved
upwards 180° in one movement (Fig. 4) so they are folded together. When they are
folded together in this way, the stored dimensions of the FLM-Centerpod are very
small.

y rotated downwards and they are then locked

The FLM-Centerpod has a plate and tripod head locking system, which
insures that you always have firm control of your camera. In spite of
this, the tripod is very flexible and due to the removable center column
is very well suited even for difficult macroshots.

The antitwist protection is provided by screwing the plate into the center
tube and then fixing this in place with the 3/8" set screw. In addition,
using a headless screw in th
fits, can be protected against becoming loose.

To remove the center column, first unscrew the 3/8" set screw with an
Allen wrench (Fig. 5, Pos. 1). After this is done, the plate be rotated out
of the center column.

Now, the tightening device for the center column is loosened and the
center tube pulled downwards and out (Fig. 6, Pos. 3 + 4). The device is
then completely unscrewed (Fig. 7).

by inserting the antitwist protection (Fig. 9,
Pos. 6) it is fixed in place with the 3/8" screw
so that it is protected against twisting (Fig. 9,
Pos. 7).

The rubber tips insure a stable footing in this
position (Fig. 10).

The hook is pulled downwards out of the center column and is held in the
end position (Fig. 12). In this way, it is easier to attach additional weight
to dampen vibrations or level the LB head.

By tapping lightly on the hook, this snaps back into the center column.
This then reduces the stored dimensions of the FLM-Centerpod and the
hook is properly stored.
