Leg Mechanism & Maintenence

We've dispensed with the conventional friction lock

and introduced a brand new Paralell locking system, for

greater security and ease of use.

Our new Para-locks work by restricting the opening

movement of the friction lock, preventing you from

accidentally unscrewing the lock until the leg section

detaches.

We have, however, made it possible for you to undo the

lock so you can perform routine maintenece to your

tripod.

The Para-lock is formed of a friction lock (a), and a cap

(b). The cap has a thin edge - if you hold the friction lock

firmly, and unscrew the cap until it detaches from the

mechanism, you can then unscrew the friction lock and

take the leg apart.

We have changed the internal structure to incorporate our

new single "chicken lips" (c), which remain attached to the

tube unless you physically remove it. To replace it, simply

stretch over the top of the tubing and push fit into the holes (d).

Clean out your leg locks using warm water (without detergent)

and a brush for the threads. Dry thoroughly before re-

assembling. Make sure you tighten the friction lock before

screwing the cap back in.
