Attaching the VPH-10P to Your Tripod

1 The VPH-10P has a 3/8-16 tripod mount.

To mount the head to a tripod with a 1/4-20 stud, use the included reducer

bushing. Screw the bushing into the tripod mount before you attach it to the tripod.

2 Attach the head to the tripod by screwing it into the tripod's mounting stud. If you're using a very small tripod, you may find it easier to hold the VPH-10P steady and screw on the tripod.

Using the VPH-10P

There are three controls that adjust your camera's position and orientation and lock it into place.
