To open and extend the tripod legs simply grip the friction

locks (b) in your hand quarter turn, loosening the legs

allowing you to select a desired height. Once the required

height has been obtained, lock the legs in place by rotating

back to the original position, which will fully engage the

leg lock. The friction locks do not require to be undone

further than a half turn, unless you intend to completely

disassemble the legs for cleaning.

Some Punks tripods have flip locks instead of twist locks. To

open and extend the tripod legs, flip the locks open, select

the desired height and push the locks closed to lock in

place.

NB Tripods with flip lock legs can not be disassembled for

cleaning.

Cleaning

These instructions apply to tripods with twist lock legs

only.

It is advised that you wash your tripod after using it in

salt water, sand, dirt or mud and this can be done by

undoing each leg. Take each individual leg lock and

unscrew until completely undone, and gently pull the

tubing (a) out, being careful not to lose the green plastic

shim (b) (chicken lips), allowing you to clean the threads

of the legs.

Once cleaned, ensure that the green

chicken lips are in place and then carefully insert the leg,

lining up the internal slot with the gap (c) in the chicken

lips, and tighten the leg lock in place.

Never use WD40 on your tripod as it can be a solvent.

Always use silicone grease.

Legs, catches & locks

In order to change the leg angle or to stow away your tripod

you will need to pull down on the leg catch (a) maneuver the

leg into the desired position and then release the catch.
