Operating Your Mini Tripod
1. Adjusting the Ball Head
The mini tripod features a ball head that allows for flexible positioning. Loosen the small black knob on the side of the ball head to freely rotate your device 360 degrees or tilt it up to 90 degrees. This enables you to achieve various shooting angles.
2. Securing the Position
Once you have achieved your desired angle, tighten the black knob firmly to lock the ball head in place. This will prevent your device from shifting during use.
Care and Maintenance
- Keep the tripod clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
- Avoid exposing the tripod to extreme temperatures or moisture.
- Do not overtighten the screws or knobs, as this may cause damage.
- Store the tripod in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Device is unstable:
- Ensure the device is properly screwed onto the 1/4-inch mount.
- Verify that the ball head knob is securely tightened.
- Check that the tripod legs are fully extended and placed on a flat, stable surface.
- Confirm your device's weight does not exceed the recommended maximum load of 1.1 lbs (0.5 kg).
Legs do not extend/retract smoothly:
- Inspect the leg joints for any obstructions or debris.
