Magnus offers a spare or replacement quick-release

plate for the VT-4000 tripod head. Having a quick-

release plate attached to the camera’s base at all

times allows you to attach or remove the camera

from the tripod without having to waste time

fumbling with the threaded mount. Your VT-4000

Tripod includes one quick-release plate, but you may

want to have spares for other cameras. The Magnus

VT-QRP400 has a 1/4˝-20 mounting stud and a

retractable register pin for correct camera positioning.

The anti-skid mounting surface stabilizes the camera.

Setting Up Your Tripod 1 Assess Needs To set up your tripod, begin by removing the tripod and its pan arm from the box and/ or carry case. Decide whether you will need the ground spikes or the rubber feet. If you are shooting outdoors and setting up on soft ground, the spikes can give you more stability. 7 Set the Pan Angle Release the pan lock, if necessary, and rotate the head to set the head in the direction you will be shooting. Retighten the pan lock.
