3. Setup Instructions
- Unfold the Tripod Legs: Gently spread the three legs of the tripod outwards until they are fully extended and stable. Ensure the tripod is placed on a flat, stable surface.
- Extend the Tripod Height: Loosen the quick flip locks on each leg section. Extend the legs to your desired height. The tripod can extend from 16.7 inches (42.4 cm) to 50.8 inches (129 cm). Once the desired height is reached, firmly close the quick flip locks to secure the leg sections. You can also extend the center column by twisting the center column knob and pulling it upwards, then tightening the knob to secure.
- Attach the Phone Holder or Device: The tripod features a standard 1/4-inch screw at the top. If using a smartphone, screw the provided phone holder onto this screw. If using a camera, projector, or ring light, directly attach it to the 1/4-inch screw. Ensure the device is securely fastened by rotating the knob on the tripod head.
- Adjust the Head Angle: The 3-way pan head allows for precise adjustments. Loosen the pan lock knob to rotate the head horizontally (360 degrees). Loosen the tilt lock knob to adjust the vertical angle (90 degrees). Tighten the knobs once the desired angle is achieved.

5. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your UBeesize tripod:
- Cleaning: Wipe the tripod with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust and dirt. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Avoid Water Exposure: While durable, the tripod is not designed for underwater use. Avoid prolonged exposure to rain or high humidity to prevent rust on metal components. If it gets wet, dry it thoroughly as soon as possible.
- Storage: When not in use, collapse the tripod fully and store it in its provided carrying bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Lubrication: Do not apply lubricants to the leg locks or head mechanisms unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer, as this can attract dust and impair function.
- Handle with Care: Avoid dropping the tripod or subjecting it to strong impacts, which can damage the aluminum alloy structure or plastic components.
