The AM-TT50 tripod features foldable aluminum legs, allowing for compact storage with a folded length of only 7 inches (18 cm) and a weight of less than 1.7 lbs (0.8 kg). This makes it highly portable and easy to carry in a bag or backpack.
Adjustable Leg Angles and Height

The tripod offers a 3-stop angle adjustment mechanism (10°, 36°, 68° relative to the horizontal plane) for versatile shooting positions. Its 5-section leg design with quick tightening mechanisms allows for height adjustment from a minimum of 7 inches (17.7 cm) to a maximum of 20 inches (52 cm).

Setup
- Unfold the Legs: Gently pull the tripod legs outwards until they click into one of the three available angle positions (10°, 36°, or 68°).
- Adjust Leg Length: To extend a leg, rotate the rubber foot counter-clockwise to unlock, pull the leg section out to the desired length, and then rotate clockwise to lock. Repeat for all leg sections.
- Adjust Center Column Height: Loosen the center column lock knob, extend or retract the center column to the desired height, and then tighten the knob to secure it.
- Reverse Center Column (Optional): To achieve very low angles, unscrew the bottom part of the center column, remove the column, invert it, and re-insert it into the tripod base. Secure it by tightening the knob.
- Attach Device:
- For cameras: Attach the quick release plate to your camera's 1/4" tripod socket. Slide the plate with the camera into the ball head's clamp and tighten the quick release plate lock knob.
- For smartphones: Attach the included phone clamp to the quick release plate (or directly to the tripod's 1/4" screw if preferred). Secure your smartphone within the clamp.

- Panoramic Panning: Loosen the panoramic lock knob located at the base of the ball head to rotate the camera 360° horizontally. Tighten the knob to lock the panning movement.
- Accessory Attachment: Use the 1/4" threaded hole on the tripod body or the 3/8" threaded hole at the bottom of the center column to attach external accessories as needed.
Maintenance
