mantona WOLVERINE XL 324 Handbuch

We are pleased that you have decided to buy a mantona product from WALSER.
By buying this product you have acquired a very versatile, high-quality, stable and
richly equipped tripod. Despite the enormous maximum working height, for this tripod
class, it is very light and compact in the collapsed state.
The tripods of the mantona Wolverine series offer uncompromising quality and high
comfort for small, medium and even heavier camera and video equipment to sophisti-
cated and advanced hobby and professional photographers.
We hope you enjoy our product.
Your team from WALSER.
