Attach the Mount to the Tripod
1 Place the head onto the tripod so that it seats securely
into the mating surface
2 For best stability, orient the mount so that the counter-
weight shaft is directly over a tripod leg as shown in
Figures 1 1 and 1 2 Note that you can orient the mount
so the counterweight shaft is between two of the tripod
legs (which can be useful in low latitudes), allowing the
counterweights to have more clearance from the tripod
3 Using the captive 8mm Allen wrench (Figure 3), tighten
the 3 attachment bolts onto the mount
