INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing your Celestron Ultima Pan/Tilt Head Tripod. This tripod will provide you with years of enjoyment and faithful service. Before using your tripod for the first time, read these instructions carefully to ensure proper use and care.
USING YOUR TRIPOD The Ultima tripod will provide you with a stable platform for your spotting scope, binocular or camera in the field. With three leg sections and an adjustable center column, the tripod can be set in multiple configurations to get the exact height needed for your terrain and conditions. The Ultima is the perfect tripod for any outdoor excursion from bird watching to stargazing and everything in between.
QUICK RELEASE PLATE The quick release plate allows you to quickly attach your optics to the tripod. To remove the quick release plate from the pan/tilt head, push the lock lever to the left until it locks. Attach the quick release plate to any device or optic with a ¼”-20 mount thread by placing the front of the quick release plate into the head. Next, slide the plate into place. When the plate is fully seated, press down. The lock lever will automatically lock the plate into place.
ADJUSTING THE LEG LENGTH The length of each leg section of the Ultima tripod can be adjusted. To adjust the length of a leg section, release the leg lock lever and extend the leg section to the desired height. Press the leg lock lever back into position to secure it. Repeat the process for all leg sections. The legs will extend to a maximum of three sections.
