4.1 Regolazione dell'altezza

• The tripod legs can be extended to a maximum height of 60 inches. Use the leg latches as described in Section 3.2 to adjust each leg section.
• The center column can also be extended for additional height. Loosen the center column locking knob, raise the column to the desired height, and then tighten the knob to secure it.

The 3-way panhead allows for horizontal panning and vertical tilting movements.

• Panoramica orizzontale: Loosen the horizontal locking knob (typically at the base of the panhead) and use the handle to rotate the camera horizontally. Tighten the knob to lock the position.
• Inclinazione verticale: Loosen the vertical locking knob (typically on the side of the panhead) and use the handle to adjust the camera's vertical angle. Tighten the knob to lock the position.

4.3 Using the Counterweight Hook

For increased stability, especially when using heavier equipment or at maximum height, a counterweight (not included) can be attached to the hook located at the base of the center column. This helps to lower the center of gravity and reduce vibrations.

5. Manutenzione

5.1 Pulizia

• Wipe down the tripod with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust and dirt.
• Per lo sporco ostinato, utilizzare una soluzione leggermente damp cloth with mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, which can damage the finish or components.

5.2 Conservazione

• Store the tripod in its provided carrying case in a dry, cool place to protect it from dust and moisture.
• Ensure all knobs and latches are in a relaxed, unlocked position during storage to prevent unnecessary stress on the components.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

6.1 Problemi di stabilità del treppiede

If the tripod feels unstable or legs slowly collapse:

• Check Leg Latches: Ensure all leg section latches are fully closed and secured after extension.
• Distribuzione uniforme del peso: Distribute the camera's weight evenly on the panhead.
• Contrappeso: For heavier cameras or when using the tripod at full extension, attach a counterweight to the center column hook to improve stability.
• Superficie: Ensure the tripod is placed on a stable, level surface. Adjust leg angles to adapt to uneven ground.

6.2 Panhead Drift or Looseness

If the panhead drifts or spins off during panning:

• Tighten Locking Knobs: Ensure all pan and tilt locking knobs are sufficiently tightened after adjustment.
• Peso della fotocamera: The panhead is designed for most digital, SLR, and video cameras. Extremely heavy camera/lens combinations may exceed the panhead's capacity, potentially leading to drift. Consider using a lighter setup or a tripod designed for heavier loads if this is a persistent issue.
• Piastra a sgancio rapido: Verify that the quick release plate is securely attached to both the camera and the panhead. A loose connection can cause instability.
