• For use with cameras 4-10 lbs.

• Switchable rubber/spiked feet

*** The handle for the fluid head and the camera mounting screws (1/4”-20 and 3/8”-16) are

The two-stage locking legs allow for a wide range of adjustment from low to high. Make sure when
packing the tripod that the legs are locked together using the retractable lanyard clip to prevent damage.
To adjust leg length, simply twist the locking knobs. Make sure each knob is secured completely to
prevent the leg sections from shifting under the weight of the camera.

The spreader located at the center of the tripod is not adjustable. Please do not try to
remove it, as doing so may cause irreparable damage. Switchable rubber/spiked feet
allow the tripod to grip many different surfaces – simply thread the rubber feet in or out to
expose or hide the spikes.

Attach the handle to the fluid head and choose the appropriate camera mounting screw.
To insert the camera mounting screw, you’ll have to remove the quick-release plate from
the fluid head. On the right hand side is the locking lever – loosen this lever. The plate
will now slide, but you’ll have to twist the safety catch on the other side to slide the plate
out. Insert the screw and mount the plate to your camera, then reinsert the plate into the
head, making sure to fully tighten the locking lever – failure to tighten the locking lever

may result in damage to your camera.

The fluid head will allow smooth pans and tilts with adjustable drag and lock. To lock the
pan, all you need to do is tighten the screw at the base of the head. Tilt allows more
control, with both a locking mechanism on the left side and a drag adjustment on the right side, for
custom adjustments based on the needs of the operator.

The 75mm bowl mount system allows you to level the tripod head without having to
precisely adjust the length of each tripod leg. This is advantageous because it’s
quicker and enables you to change tripod positions over uneven ground without
having to constantly adjust the legs. To level the head, loosen the knob on the
underside and tilt the head until the bubble level is centered. To ensure stability,
level the tripod by adjusting the legs first, then use the head leveling system for fine
adjustments. In the event that you wish to remove the fluid head, simply unscrew the
knob located on the underside of the head and extract the head from the tripod bowl.
