Istruzioni di installazione
- Mounting the Leveling Base to a Tripod/Monopod/Slider:
The leveling base features a 3/8" screw hole at its bottom. Attach this directly to a tripod, monopod, or camera slider that has a 3/8" mounting screw. If your tripod has a 1/4" screw, use the included 1/4" to 3/8" screw adapter by screwing it into the leveling base's 3/8" hole first, then mount it onto your tripod.

The top of the leveling base has a 1/4" screw. You can directly mount your DSLR camera, video camera, or action camera onto this screw. Alternatively, you can mount a tripod ball head or video fluid head onto the 1/4" screw for additional flexibility.
Istruzioni per l'uso
- Adjusting the Leveling Base:
The leveling base allows for a smooth -15° to +15° tilt adjustment and a full 360° panoramic rotation. To adjust the angle, simply loosen the angle lock knob. Once the desired angle is achieved, tighten the knob to secure the position.

Risoluzione dei problemi

- Problem: Leveling base feels loose or wobbly.
- Soluzione: Check that the angle lock knob is fully tightened. Also, ensure the safety stop screw is tightened with the L-shaped hex key. Verify that the leveling base is securely mounted to your tripod and your camera/head is securely mounted to the leveling base.
- Problem: Difficulty attaching to a tripod.
- Soluzione: Confirm the thread size of your tripod's mounting screw. If it's 1/4", ensure the 1/4" to 3/8" screw adapter is correctly installed into the leveling base's 3/8" hole before attempting to mount.
