How to use

Set the tripod on a firm surface, spread the three legs and adjust leg length to level the head. Extend the central column to reach the desired framing height, taking care not to exceed the maximum extension for best stability. Mount the camera on the tripod head and secure it according to the head’s locking mechanism. For low-angle shots, shorten the legs and lower the central column to the minimum height. Check all locks before releasing the camera to ensure safe operation.

Recommendations

The tripod is recommended for cameras and lens combinations within the 4 kg support limit; avoid overloading to maintain stability and prolong service life. Use on solid ground or apply additional weight to the center column hook (if present) in windy conditions. When transporting, collapse the legs and secure any movable parts to prevent damage.
