Tripod
n
Do not use the tripod in combination with any products other than the PROSTAFF 3 Fieldscope.
WARNING
• Pay sufficient attention when closing or opening the tripod legs. The tripod legs may pinch your
fingers or cause injury if you handle the tripod carelessly. Handle the tripod legs safely without
being in a hurry.
• Be sure to hold the fieldscope when you adjust the height of the tripod or move the camera
platform with the fieldscope mounted to the camera platform. Otherwise, the tripod may move
unexpectedly, which may damage the fieldscope or the tripod legs may pinch your fingers.
• Be sure to secure your safety and stable posture if you use the tripod in unstable places, such as
slopes. Pay utmost attention if you use the tripod in high places, because toppling or falling can
lead to serious injury or death.
• Do not place the tripod on wobbling tables or leaning places where the tripod cannot be secured stably. Pay utmost attention if you use the tripod in high places, because the falling of the
tripod onto the head or feet can lead to serious injury or death.
• Do not prop the product against the wall or set up the tripod with the legs closed. Otherwise,
the tripod may topple over. Keep the tripod on its side horizontally when you store the tripod.
• Be sure to place or store the tripod out of reach of children. Children may pinch their fingers or
hands or the tripod may topple over, which can lead to serious injury or death.
• The tripod is mainly composed of aluminum, which is electrically conductive. Do not use the
tripod close to high-voltage lines. Do not use the tripod if there is a risk of lightning.
• Do not sit or stand on the tripod. Otherwise, you may fall down, which can lead to serious injury
or death.
• Do not handle the tripod by bare hand in cold places, because the metal parts may be frozen.
CAUTIONS
• When you move to another place, be sure to carry the fieldscope after dismounting it from the
tripod. Unexpected force can be imposed on the fieldscope, which may damage the fieldscope
if you carry the tripod with the fieldscope mounted to the camera platform.
• Be sure to secure the fieldscope and tripod in use with each screw and lever tightened or locked.
The tripod may topple over, parts may drop off, and the fieldscope may be damaged if the screw
or lever is loosened or unlocked.
• Do not apply oil or grease to any part of the tripod. Otherwise, the tripod may not work sufficiently.
• Do not disassemble or reconstruct the tripod. Abnormal operation may cause the tripod to
move abnormally, leading to property damage or injury.
• Use the tripod with the legs fully opened in order to prevent the tripod from toppling over or
receiving damage.
• Do not leave the tripod in automobiles or other places that result in high temperatures in summer. Otherwise, oil leakage or malfunctioning may result.
• The tripod may not demonstrate its performance sufficiently in cold places.
