TR-13 Owner’s Manual Travel Tripod
Thank you for choosing Magnus. The Magnus TR-13 Travel tripod is the perfect lightweight travel companion when you’re on the go. This tripod features a dual-action ballhead with pan control for precise aim. An Arca-type quick release plate allows you to quickly and effortlessly mount or swap your cameras. For height adjustment up to 62 inches, the adjustable center column offers smooth and precise positioning, and it’s reversible, which enables low-angle or close-to-the-ground shots.
Opening the Tripod 1 Fold the legs down until the angle locks click into place. Make sure all the legs are set to the same angle. 2 Open the flip locks, and extend each leg to the desired height. Relock each leg. Always extend the legs from the top flip-locks first. To adjust the leg angles, slightly fold each leg down, and press the leg angle lock. Move the leg to the new angle, and release the lock.
Operating the Ballhead Important! Always support the camera with one hand when loosening the tilt locking knob. To adjust the tilt, loosen the ball locking knob, and change the position of the camera. For 90° portrait orientation, loosen the ball locking knob, and place the ballhead into the 90° notch. For 360° panning, loosen the pan locking knob, and rotate the base of the ballhead. Use the degree scale at the base of the head for precise aiming, and tighten the locking knob until secure.
Reversing the Center Column 1 Unscrew the counterweight hook from the bottom of the center column. 2 Loosen the center column locking collar, and remove the center column from the tripod. 3 Align the channel on the side of the center column with the notch in the center column hole, and insert the bottom of the center column up through the hole. 4 Tighten the center column collar, and replace the counterweight hook. Folding the Tripod 1 Retract and lock each leg.
