4. Startup and Operation

4.1 Setting up the tripod

• Open the tripod legs until they reach the first position.
• If you want to set the tripod to one of the other
3 possible angles, push the releases (3) and adjust the
tripod legs to the desired angle.
• You can adjust the length of the tripod legs in order to
achieve the desired height for taking photos.
• Open the quick-action leg clamps (5) and adjust to the
desired length. Then lock the tripod leg by closing the
quick-action leg clamps (5).
• Repeat this step for the other two legs.
Note - Tripod legs
The tripod can be vertically swivelled by up to 180° in
three stages, which makes it especially compact and easy
to pack or store.
• Extend the middle column completely – this ensures
that the tripod will be as compact as possible after the
legs have been folded up.
• Push the release on the hinge of one of the tripod
legs.
• Move the tripod leg up fully onto the middle column.
4.2 Adjusting the height of the middle column
The height of the middle column can be infinitely adjusted
using a screw clamp (4).
• To do this, loosen the screw clamp (4) by turning it
approximately a half a turn counter-clockwise (when
viewed from above) until you no longer feel any
resistance.
• Pull the middle column out to the desired length and
hold it in place.
• Lock the middle column in place by turning the screw
clamp (4) clockwise (when viewed from above) until
secure.
