Assembly
Setting up the Tripod
6. Detach the bungee cord hook to release the legs.
7. Holding the tripod upright, open out the legs and set the footprint
of the tripod to suit the shooting environment.
CAUTION! Use the spreader to ensure the tripod legs are
spread sufficiently , so that the Centre of Gravity of the tilted
payload remains within the footprint of the tripod. Use the
tie-down hook on the tripod for additional stability.
Notes
1. The following procedure refers to a two-stage tripod
fitted with a mid-level spreader (if necessary, refer to
Attaching the mid-level spreader 75 HD on page 7).
2. ALWAYS use the spreaders to increase the rigidity of
the tripod.
3. At the fullest extension of the spreader and with all legs
fully retracted, the tripod can be used at its lowest
operating height. Although the tripod can be set up
lower than this without the spreader, it is NOT
recommended as the tripod geometry becomes
unstable.
4. Do not use spikes on hard ground or delicate surfaces.
5. The tie-down hook can be used either to hang a
backpack on for additional stability or as a storage point
for items.
