Leg Strap

The Leg Strap is attached to largest diameter leg

tube (as delivered from factory) using 'hook

and loop' tape.

The Leg strap also has a "D"

ring attachment point for

the shoulder strap if

required. Check the Leg

Strap periodically to ensure

hook and loop tape is secure.

Maintenance

Regularly inspect tripod for damage or grit. Pay particular

attention to carbon fibre tubes, concentric locks, leg angle

adjusters, condition of bowl, feet and general operation of the

tripod.

Keep grit and dirt out of leg angle adjusters. If leg angle adjusters

or legs grind or stick during operation they may have grit in

contact with their sliding surfaces. The affected parts will require

disassembly and cleaning. Failure to do so may result in

excessive wear and breakage of tripod components.

Regularly clean tripod with a damp rag or soft brush. Wipe off all

sand, dust and salt spray. Do not clean with solvents, cleaning

fluids, lubricants, polishes, abrasives or wire brushes.

Transport and store tripod in Miller bag or case wherever

possible. Store tripod in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Safety

Read the Operator's

Manual

Miller recommends that all camera

support equipment should be carried in a

carry bag to reduce the risk of accidental

damage during transport. All Miller SOLO

RAPID LOCK systems include a carry bag to

protect the tripod and reduce exposure to dust

and moisture during transport and storage.

Ensure that the weight of the camera/lens/battery payload

mounted on your tripod does not exceed the recommended

capacity of the fluid head. This will ensure that the tripod and

fluid head you have chosen will operate to their specification.

Note that any offset payload, such as a telephoto lens, will exert

a forward offset load on the support system. Refer to your fluid

head users guide to ensure these loads are properly balanced.

Never set up or pull down a tripod while a camera is mounted on it.

The camera base should be fastened to a suitable camera plate

and tripod plate prior to mounting. The camera should be

attached to the fluid head only after all tripod leg locks are

positively engaged (in locked position) and the tripod is on a

stable surface.

The safe operation of the tripod is the responsibility of the

operator.
