USING THE COMPACT TRIPOD
(not included with 80mm models)
Unfold the legs fully and set the tripod on
a stable, level surface such as a table or the
ground. If additional height is needed, extend
the center column, following these steps:
•Loosen the center column locking collar
•Raise the center column to the desired
position
•Tighten the column locking collar
Twist the pan/tilt handle counter-clockwise to
loosen it, tilt the tripod head until the mounting
platform is in a level position (parallel to the
ground), then twist the handle clockwise to
tighten it. Turn the mounting screw to attach
the scope's tripod mount securely to the tripod
platform (do not overtighten).
To tilt the scope vertically, twist the pan/tilt handle counter-clockwise to loosen it first, then tilt the
tripod head up or down. To pan the scope left or right, loosen the pan lock knob first, then use the pan/
tilt handle to rotate the tripod head.
