Tripod movements: The fluid head of the tripod will allow you to move the camera from side to side

(pan), up and down (tilt) and a smooth combination of the two.

You can adjust the position of the 'pan handle' by loosening and tightening the screw holding it in place

and moving it to a comfortable position for you.

Never try to pan or tilt with the locks on- this can damage the threads.

Always lock off the tripod- especially on the tilt axis- before letting go of the handle.

When the red catch 'clicks', line up the edges of the base plate with

the head of the tripod and tighten the screw-catch.

If you need more height, you can use the large catches on each leg at

the top or bottom. It is easier to adjust the top catches, so always

extend the bottom ones first. That way you can do small adjustments

Once you have your height right, look at the head of the tripod.

the top while doing this.

You can increase or decrease the 'fluid drag' on either axis-

so you can have quick, whippy loose movements or slow

steady ones.

The fluid drag control for the pan axis is underneath the base

head just below the base plate.

You can also lock off either axis or both and have it completely

fixed.

The lock for the pan axis is behind the camera by the spirit

level.

The lock for the tilt axis is on the right hand side of the tripod.

Then slide the base plate back on.

If you can't get the red catch to

plate sticks, try putting it on

another way. Have patience with

this part, as it is not always easy
