5. Operation Guidelines

The Godox 210F is designed for straightforward use.

5.1 Positioning the Stand

• Place the stand in a location where its legs will not be a tripping hazard.
• For optimal stability, ensure the legs are fully spread.
• Consider using sandbags or weights on the legs for added stability, especially with heavier equipment or in outdoor conditions.

5.2 Adjusting Equipment Angle

If your lighting equipment has an adjustable head, use its mechanisms to direct the light as needed. The stand itself provides vertical height adjustment.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the stand with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust and dirt. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly.
• Lubrication: Periodically check the locking mechanisms and moving parts. If they become stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
• Storage: Collapse the stand completely and store it in a dry, clean environment, preferably in a carrying bag to protect it from scratches and dust.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the stand for any signs of damage, such as bent legs, loose screws, or worn rubber feet. Do not use a damaged stand.
