Operating Instructions
- Adjusting Height: Use the center column lock knob to raise or lower the center column for fine height adjustments. For larger adjustments, use the leg flip-locks.
- Horizontal Rotation (Pan): Loosen the 360-degree rotating lock knob on the pan head to rotate your device horizontally. Tighten the knob to secure the position.
- Vertical Tilt: Use the vertical tilt lock knob (handle) to adjust the device's vertical angle (up to 90 degrees). Tighten the handle to lock the tilt.
- Leveling: Utilize the built-in bubble view level on the pan head to ensure your device is perfectly level. Adjust the legs or pan head as needed.
- Enhanced Stability: For added stability, especially outdoors, hang a counterweight (e.g., your tool bag) from the multi-function hook located at the bottom of the center column.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down the tripod with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust and debris. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly.
- Lubrication: Periodically check moving parts and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if movement becomes stiff. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
- Storage: Store the tripod in its provided storage bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect all screws, locks, and joints for tightness and wear. Tighten any loose screws and replace worn parts if necessary.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Huepar TPD14 Tripod, please consider the following:
- Instability: Ensure all leg flip-locks are securely closed and the center brace locking circle is engaged. For outdoor use, consider hanging a counterweight from the multi-function hook.
- Stiff Adjustments: Check for any debris in the locking mechanisms. If clean, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the moving parts.
- Device Not Level: Verify that the tripod is placed on a flat surface and use the built-in bubble level to make fine adjustments to the pan head.
