Adjusting Height and Stability

To adjust the tripod's height, open the flip-locks on each leg section and extend or retract the legs as needed. Close the flip-locks firmly to secure the desired height. For maximum stability, ensure the legs are fully spread and the center column is not excessively extended, especially with heavier cameras. The tripod has a maximum bearing capacity of 17.6 lbs (8 kg).

פּאַנאָראַמיק שיסערייַ

The ball head features a 360° horizontal scale at its base. Loosen the panoramic lock knob, rotate the camera to the desired panoramic position, and then tighten the knob to secure. This allows for smooth and precise panoramic photography.

Low Angle and Macro Photography

For extremely low-angle shots or macro photography, the center column can be inverted. To do this, fully extend the center column, unscrew the hook at the bottom, and then remove the center column. Reinsert it upside down and secure it. This allows your camera to be positioned very close to the ground.
