Pro Range 2.0 Tripods INSTRUCTIONS ® Built to enable.
IMPORTANT DO NOT USE YOUR TRIPOD UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS. NO WARRANTY CLAIM WILL BE ENTERED INTO FOR THE MISUSE OR INCORRECT USE OF THESE PRODUCTS.
ANATOMY OF A TRIPOD: We offer three leg angles that we consider to be optimum for using a tripod. They are 23˚, 55˚ & 80˚. Each angle has its own merits.
AirHeds and Release Plates There are two clamp types - Pro & Lever. IMPORTANT NEVER undo any of the knobs without holding your camera.
AirHed Pro Lever The AirHed lever is operated by sliding the lever (a) towards you and opening the lever (b) by 180 degrees. To lock, pull the lever back to it’s original position. To change the orientation from right to lefthanded and vice versa, remove the plate and move the lever (b) into a 90-degree position. Push in point (c), in doing this you will release the lever enabling you to rotate the lever by 180-degrees and change its orientation.
Basic Functionality C The contoured Tri-mount plate comes with three hollow ends (a), for connecting your strap or carabiner, six 1/4” threaded holes (b) and one 3/8” threaded hole in the centre. The central bolt can be removed and has both 1/4” and 3/8” threads. In the base of the centre column is a D-Ring (c), which is used to connect either your strap, for carrying, or the bag (e) for ballast, using the carabiner (d). d The carabiner clip can also be connected to the D-Ring via Toolz (f).
To remove the centre column, unscrew the D-Ring (a) and the collar (b). You can then pull out the Column (c), and completely remove the collar (b). Your Tri-Mount plate (d) should be unscrewed from the other end of the column and then carefully screwed directly to the canopy (e). c Line up the three ends of the Tri-mount plate to sit between the leg gaps and then screw up the Locking ring (f) to meet the Tri-Mount plate, locking it firmly in place.
Para-Locks The Para-Locks (a) are designed to prevent accidental disassembly of the legs and column and add additional strength to the mechanism and tripod. If the Para-Lock (a) seems locked, but the leg section is not firmly locked, then the ParaLock is locked in the open position. Rotate the opposite way until locked and check. To undo, grip the cap (b) and rotate it counter-clockwise (if looking down upon cap) until it disengages with the Para-Lock (a).
Leg Catches and Locks In order to change the leg angle or to stow away your tripod you will need to pull out the leg catch (a) to manoeuvre the leg into the desired position. Once you have your desired position push the leg catch back into place to ensure the catch is secure before use. a The Detachable Legs All three legs can be unscrewed directly from the leg hinge (b). You can screw one of the legs into the bottom of the detached centre column to make the monopod, without extra parts.
