OPERATION 4. Center Column Adjustment The sliding center column can be used to adjust the height of the camera. Fully extending the center column after the legs have been fully extended will place the camera at the highest position possible with this tripod.

Insert the short column into the tripod and adjust to the height you desire. Tighten the center column twist lock securely. Note: Extending the center column may leave the tripod less stable. 6. Folding Legs For the most compact storage and transport of your tripod, the legs can be folded up 180°.

In each case, the rubber non-skid feet are for use indoors or on flat surfaces, while the spikes are for soft ground, grass, sand, and uneven terrain. A. Retractable spiked feet A spike is built into each of the tripod’s rubber feet.
