Assembly Instructions

A. Tripod Setup

1. Mount Installation:

Using the provided screws, attached the three tripod legs to the connection flanges on the
altazimuth mount, then secure the screws with the provided wing nuts.

2. Tripod Height Adjustment:

For all three tripod legs, extend the tripod legs by loosening the locking screws on the tripod legs
and pulling the lower leg sections outward, then tighten the locking screws to secure the position
of the lower leg sections.

Now spread the tripod legs and stand the tripod on even ground, so you can adjust the height of
each leg as required.

3. Accessory Tray Installation:

Fasten the accessory tray to the center brace of the tripod using the provided screws. Please do
not ignore this step as the tray not only provides you with the convenience of holding small
accessories but also adds stability to the tripod.
