OPERATION 1. Mount Ballhead To Tripod To mount the ballhead on the tripod, first tighten the locking knob on the head. Then, being careful to properly align the tripod stud and the ballhead hole to avoid damaging them, rotate the ballhead clockwise onto the tripod, and tighten it by hand. 2. Converting Mounting Thread For tripods with a 1/4″ threaded mounting stud: insert the supplied Reducer Bushing into the threaded mounting hole of the head to enable a proper fit. 3.
OPERATION 4. Calibrated Base The base of the ballhead can be rotated a full 360° and is controlled by the single locking knob on the side of the ballhead. Twist the knob counterclockwise to unlock the base. Rotate the base to the desired position, and lock the base by turning the knob clockwise. Calibrated degree markings on the base of the ballhead mark the position of the camera precisely. 5.
OPERATION 7. Mount Camera After mounting the quick-release plate to your camera, ensure that the locking knob on the ballhead is securely tightened. To mount the camera to the ballhead, first insert the side of the QuickRelease Plate that is opposite the quick-release latch. Then, press down on the side of the quickrelease plate nearest the quickrelease latch. The quick-release latch will automatically lock into place when the plate is pushed into the groove.
