INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing Vello.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Vello Tripod Collar.
The Vello Tripod Collar is simple to install, mounting directly to
the barrel of the lens. Once mounted, the collar provides
improved balance and less stress on the lens mount during tripod
use. By slightly loosening the collar the lens can also be easily
rotated between horizontal and vertical shooting positions.
Please read the entire manual before using the Tripod Collar.
1. Start with the lens detached from the camera body.
2. Open the Tripod Collar by unscrewing the k nob. Some tripod
collars require the knob to be unscrewed and pulled out to
open or secure the ring.
3. With the foot of the Tripod Collar
facing forward, fit the Tripod Collar
around the lens barrel.

4. To secure the Tripod Collar,
close the ring and screw the
knob firmly into place.
Note: If using a Quick Release Plate,
align the plate with the lens barrel so the
camer a faces forward when mounted to
the tripod and screw it firmly into place.
5. Attach the lens to the
camer a body and securely
mount on the tripod.
6. To shoot horizontally,
align top of the lens to line
on top of collar.
Instructions may vary slight ly for dierent lenses. Images are for
illustrative purposes only. Ac tual product may vary.
7. To shoot vertically, align top
of lens to either line provided
on the sides of the collar.
