Unpacking

■ Remove all parts of the tripod and the operating instructions from the packaging.
Remove all packing material.

Disposal of the packaging

The packaging protects the appliance from transport damage. The packaging materials are selected from the point of view of their environmental friendliness and disposal technology and are therefore recyclable.

The return of packaging into the material circuit saves on raw materials and reduces the amount of generated waste. Dispose of packaging material that is no longer needed according to the regionally established regulations.

Setting the tripod up

1) Open the tripod out completely, so that the locking ring ⑫ touches the column end..
2) Turn the locking ring ⑫ firmly in a clockwise direction so that it can no longer move.
3) Loosen the locking levers 18 + 14 to unlock the legs of the tripod and pull them out to the required lengths.
4) Align the tripod by shifting the legs as required. For this use the levelling spirit level ⑥.

NOTICE

The air bubble must be located in the middle of the circular marking.
5) When you have found the right position, relock the tripod legs with the locking levers 13 + 14 .
6) Now align - if you want to have the tripod plate ③ lined up exactly horizontally - the tripod plate ⑧. For this, turn on the grip ⑩ and move it up or, respectively, down.

NOTICE

The air bubble of the adjustment spirit level ④ must be located between the two markings.

Securing devices

NOTICE

This tripod is equipped with a quick release plate 2. When a device is screwed onto the quick release plate 2 you can, by sliding the locking device 8 on the side of the tripod plate 3, loosen the device together with the quick release plate 2 from the tripod plate 3. Thus, you do not always have to unscrew the device from the thread 1.

1) Remove the quick release plate 2 from the tripod. For this, slide the locking device 3 to the side so that you can lift the quick release plate 2.
2) Screw the required device onto the quick release plate ②. To do this, turn the screw - with the help of the handle on the underside of the quick release plate ② - until the device is firmly seated.
3) To replace the quick release plate 2 complete with the device back on the tripod plate 3, slide the locking device 8 to the side and reposition the quick release plate 2. Then secure the locking device 8, such that the quick release plate 2 is firmly seated.

Using the tripod

When you have set the tripod up and the device is mounted on it, you can then adjust it as follows:

Loosen the locking screw "High" ⑦ to a point where the crank ① can be turned easily. Turn the crank ⑩ to adjust the height. When the desired height has been reached, firmly retighten the locking screw "High" ⑦.

NOTICE

Always hold the grip firmly when you loosen the locking screw "High" 7 and turn the crank 1. Otherwise - if the locking screw "High" 7 is loosened and the crank 1 is not firmly held - the rod with the attached device could fall down to the lowest setting and, through it, the device could be damaged.
To swivel the device horizontally through up to 360^ , loosen the locking screw "360" ⑤. Take hold of the grip ⑩ and swivel the tripod plate ③. When you have reached the desired position, retighten the locking screw "360" ⑤ firmly.
To adjust the tilt angle, rotate the grip 10 and move it either up or down. When the desired tilt angle has been reached, rotate the grip 10 again until it is firm.

Should you wish to bring the tripod plate ③ through up to 90^ , from the vertical to the horizontal position, to take for example photos in portrait format, then loosen the tripod head screw ⑨. Swivel the tripod plate ⑧ into the required position and then retighten the tripod plate screw ⑨ firmly.

NOTICE

You can additionally stabilise the tripod by placing a weight (max. 2 kg) on the accessory hook ⑤.

Transportation and storage

If you need to transport the tripod over long distances, then slide it together and place it into the supplied transport bag.
Store the tripod at a clean and dry location. Preferably, in the supplied transport bag.
