User's Manual
In order to change the leg angle you will need to press down on
the Rapid Latch leg catch (a) manoeuvre the leg into the desired
position and then release the catch. You don’t need to press the
Rapid Latch to stow your tripod.
To open and extend the tripod legs simply grip the twist locks in your
hand, quarter turn (clockwise as you look down on it), loosening
the legs allowing you to select a desired height. Once the required
height has been obtained, lock the legs in place by rotating back
anti-clockwise to the original position, which will fully engage the
leg lock. The friction locks do not require to be undone further than
a half turn, unless you intend to completely disassemble the legs
for cleaning.

Detachable Legs
All three legs can be unscrewed directly from the leg hinge
(a) and used as monopods or boom arms.
The levelling base canopy can be converted to a table-
top tripod by removing the legs and screw Vanz* or
Stillettoz* (d) into the leg hinges (a). To position the legs, use
the Rapid Latch (c) to adjust. Mount your camera directly
on to the levelling base using the 1/4”-20 thread, or add an
AirHed using the supplied 3/8”-16 adapter.
To convert to a monopod with a foot stabiliser, unscrew all
3 detachable legs (b) from the leg hinges. Screw Vanz* or
Stillettoz* (d) into the leg hinges and using the Rapid Latch,
position the legs to the desired angle (e). Remove the 3/8-
16” mount sleeve from the bottom of the detached leg
using your Toolz to loosen it out and screw the detached
leg onto the 1/4“-20 and 3/8“-16 thread mount until its
secure.
Screw your AirHed onto the top of the leg to create your
monopod head. Once your monopod is all set up loosen
the friction lock / d-ring to release the base to create uid
movement. Adjust the friction lock to create your desired
level of drag. The tighter the friction lock / d-ring is, the
more drag will occur. To stop all movement, tighten both
the friction lock and pan lock being cautious not to over
tighten. (Over tightening may make it difcult to undo the
locks once you have nished using it).
*Footwear sold separately
Warning - do not angle the monopod beyond the
boundaries of the levelling base as you may damage the
leg or levelling base.
Do not let go of your camera when mounted on to any
monopod setup.
