VZ-TP1064

Lightweight Pro Photo Tripod

Thanks for your purchase of the TP1064. This unit is rugged, light,
and easy to use, but we have specific guidelines to ensure that you
get your value out of the TP1064. Please read the instructions before
operating and note the following warnings:

• Whenever adjusting the head, hold on securely to prevent
the camera from flopping over.

• Additionally, make sure the locking lever * for the camera
mounting plate is securely fastened to prevent unwanted
wiggle or accidental release of the plate from the head.

• Don’t overload the tripod (10 lbs. max) and NEVER lean
on it.

• We do not recommend transporting the tripod with the
camera attached, as the camera is more likely to get
damaged this way.

1) Attach the quick-release plate to your camera and tighten the
thumbscrew securely.

2) Make sure the head is level and the handle is tightened fully
clockwise to prevent tilting, then insert the plate (w/
camera attached) into the socket on the head and tighten
the plate locking lever securely *.

3) Extend the legs to the desired height and secure the leg
clamps so the legs don’t slide.

4) The sliding latch at the top of each leg allows you to adjust
the angle of the leg for a wider or narrower stance.

5) The telescoping center post allows you to fine tune the height
of your camera. When the desired height is reached, tighten
the thumbscrew to secure the center post position.

6) The head can tilt sideways from a level horizon to a 90
degree position by loosening the thumbscrew above the
handle and lifting the camera platform. Tighten the
thumbscrew when you find your position. Underneath the
platform is a small set screw for fine tuning the horizon level.

Should the leg clamps become loose
over time, use the supplied socket
wrench to tighten them.
