4.3 Weight hook and removable middle column
A weight hook (6) is located on the bottom end of the
middle column. You can hang weight (for example: your
camera bag) on this hook to further stabilize the tripod.
The weight hook (6) can be unscrewed and removed and
the middle column can be removed, flipped by 180° and
re-inserted in order to take photos close to the ground.
• Remove the weight hook (6) by unscrewing it.
• Open the lower screw clamp (7) by turning it counter-
clockwise and pull the middle column upwards out of the
tripod base.
• Flip the middle column by 180° and insert it into the
tripod basis from the bottom, set the desired length and
lock the middle column using the screw clamp (7).
Warning - Don't forget the weight hook!
• Screw the weight hook (6) back on. It prevents the
middle column from slipping out and damaging your
valuable camera equipment when the screw clamps
(7) are opened.
4.4 Integrated monopod
A stable monopod can be created from the middle column
and one of the tripod legs (labelled with the foam).
• Remove the middle column as described in point 4.3.
Do not reattach the weight hook (6).
• Unscrew the tripod leg with the foam and remove it from
the tripod base.
• Screw the middle column and the threaded tripod leg
together until it is hand tight.
• Adjust the monopod you have just created to the desired
length.
4.5 Ball head
The ball head (1) is equipped with a large fixing screw
for the ball head function and a small fixing screw for the
panorama function.
• Unscrew the large fixing screw so it is loose enough
that the camera can move and the ball head (1) can be
adjusted.
• Next, tighten the fixing screw again and ensure that the
ball head (1) is also secured.
Warning - Ensure that your camera is
secure!
• Hold your camera securely with one hand when you
adjust the ball head (1).
• Unscrew the small fixing screw in order to be able to
take panorama shots. The slight resistance allows you
to turn the camera smoothly and evenly.
4.6 Quick-release plate
• Ensure that the ball head (1) pivot is secured.
• Unscrew the fixing screw until it is loose enough that the
quick-release plate (2) can be removed from its fixture by
tilting it slightly upwards.
• Attach the quick-release plate (2) to your camera.
• Place your camera with the quick-release plate (2)
attached into the fixture slightly tiled upwards and
turn the fixing screw until the camera is securely in
place.
