Set Up Instructions: 1. Setting up the tripods: Upon removing the tripods from the bag all knobs will be tightened. To set up the tripod, you will first need to loosen the set screw on the leg brace. Pull the legs outward from the center pole and then you will be able to push in a downward motion on the top of the brace while holding the center pole (See Figure 1). Continue pushing downward until the legs are fully extended.
4. Adjusting the height of your tripods: Each one of your tripod stands are adjustable in height up to 12.4 feet. To adjust the height, simply loosen the top set screw, and then pull in an upward motion up to the desired height. To achieve full extension it is recommended that you first loosen the top set screw and fully extend the top section of the tripod. Once fully extended, tighten up the top set screw and repeat this process with the middle and bottom section (See Figure 4). 5.
Notice: Once your background stand is set up please be aware that some sag in the cross bars can be a common issue based on the size and weight of the backdrop you are using. WARNING: There is a tipping risk for the fully extended tripods or tripods and crossbar. This can be due to moving the tripods while fully extended, a model or photographer stepping on a backdrop, heavy mounted equipment such as strobe lights, or even things such as uneven surfaces or wind.
