OPERATION Ballhead Operation MOUNTING THE BALLHEAD During normal operation, the ballhead will occasionally have to be removed. To mount it back onto the tripod: 1. Align the ballhead socket with the tripod mounting screw. 2. Rotate the ballhead clockwise onto the tripod, and tighten it by hand. Note: To use the ballhead with a tripod that has a 3/8-16 threaded mounting post, remove the reducer bushing from the ballhead’s mounting socket.
OPERATION MOUNTING THE QUICK-RELEASE PLATE TO THE CAMERA The quick-release plate has a 1/4-20 screw that fits most cameras. 1. Loosen the quick-release knob by turning it counterclockwise, and remove the quick-release plate from the ballhead. 2. Screw the plate onto the bottom of the camera. 3. Use the D-ring, a slotted screwdriver, or a coin to tighten the screw into the camera’s socket.

Then lower the other side until the quick-release plate is lying flat in the quickrelease clamp.
OPERATION MAIN LOCKING KNOB OPERATION The main locking knob locks and unlocks the ballhead, which allows for changing the position of the camera. Always use one hand to secure the camera while adjusting the ballhead, and make sure the lock is engaged before letting go of the camera.
