Using in Monopod Mode
To change the operation from tripod mode to monopod mode, loosen the Elevation Lock Knob (1) and
pull up on the head until the Center Column is free
of the tripod body. Reverse this process to re-install
the unit back into the tripod body.
Precautions
• Insure that all levers, handles, knobs and
leg locks are properly tightened, and that all
three legs are fully angled opened before
use.
• Do not mount any camera directly onto the
head mount screw located on the top of the
tripod’s center column. The screw may be
longer than the tripod socket in your
camera, and could possibly cause damage.
• Do not carry or transport the tripod with the
camera equipment attached (as example
but not limited to: over your shoulder or
cradled in your arms).
• Do not Oil or Grease any part of the tripod.
• Do not use any solvents or thinners to clean
your tripod. Use mild detergent and wipe dry
with a soft, lint-free cloth only.
• Do not store or expose your tripod to
excessive heat or cold or use close to any
flame or fire.
• Do not exceed the load limit for this product.

its vertical position. Retighten the Vertical Tilt Lock
Knob.
Extending the 6601TM Tripod Legs
Each leg of the 6601TM has separate leg segments
and each segment may be withdrawn as needed.
This permits setting your equipment at a comfortable
height and can be very useful when positioning your
tripod on uneven terrain.
To deploy any leg extension, flip the Leg Lock Lever
outwards and gently pull on the leg to extend. To
secure, press the Leg Lock until it locks in place.
Not properly securing a Leg Lock may cause the
tripod leg to retract unexpectedly and result in
damage to your camera and tripod.

located at the foot of
the monopod counterclockwise and gently
pull on the leg segment to the desired
length. To secure in
position, twist the leg
lock clockwise. Not
properly securing the
twist leg lock may
cause the monopod to
retract unexpectedly
and result in damage
to your camera and
monopod.
