Setup Instructions
- Unfold the Legs: Gently pull the three legs outwards until they are fully extended and locked into position. The tripod is designed for stability on flat surfaces.
- Attach Your Device:
- For Cameras: Locate the 1/4" screw thread on the mini ball head. Align the camera's tripod socket with this screw and rotate the camera clockwise until it is securely fastened. Do not overtighten.
- For Smartphones/GoPro (with adapter, not included): If using a smartphone or GoPro, attach your compatible adapter (sold separately) to the 1/4" screw thread first, then secure your device into the adapter.
- Adjust the Ball Head: Loosen the locking knob on the side of the ball head to adjust the angle of your device. The ball head allows for 360-degree rotation and 90-degree tilt. Once the desired angle is achieved, tighten the locking knob firmly to secure the position.

Operating Instructions
The KINGJOY KT-40 is designed for simple and effective operation:
- Positioning: Place the tripod on a stable, flat surface. Ensure all three legs are fully extended for maximum stability.
- Angle Adjustment: Loosen the ball head locking knob, adjust your camera or device to the desired angle (horizontal, vertical, or tilted), and then firmly tighten the knob to prevent movement.
- Panoramic Rotation: The ball head allows for smooth 360-degree rotation. Loosen the ball head knob slightly to enable rotation without changing the tilt, then re-tighten.
- Portability: When not in use, remove your device, loosen the ball head knob, fold the legs inwards, and secure them for compact storage and transport.

- Storage: Store the tripod in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and joints for tightness. If any part appears loose or damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support.
