3. Setup Guide

1. Unfold the Tripod Legs: Gently pull the three legs outwards from the main body until they are fully extended and stable. The legs are designed to provide a stable base on flat surfaces.
2. Extend the Central Column: To adjust the height, pull the central column upwards. It will click into place at each of the four adjustable height levels. Ensure it is securely locked at your desired height.
3. Attach Your Device:
   • For smartphones, attach a compatible phone clip (not included) to the 1/4 inch screw on the tripod head, then secure your phone in the clip.
   • For cameras (DSLR, ILDC, action cameras), screw the camera directly onto the 1/4 inch screw until it is firmly attached.
4. Adjust the Ball Head: Loosen the locking knob on the side of the ball head to adjust the angle of your device. Once the desired angle is achieved, tighten the locking knob firmly to secure the position.
5. Utilize the Cold Shoe Mount (Optional): If you have accessories like a microphone or LED video light, slide them into the cold shoe mount located on the side of the ball head.

• Adjusting Shooting Angle: Loosen the locking knob on the ball head, pivot your device to the desired horizontal or vertical orientation, and then re-tighten the knob to secure it. The 360-degree rotation allows for precise framing.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the tripod with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the tripod in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is fully collapsed and clean before storage to prevent damage.
• Inspection: Periodically check all moving parts, screws, and joints for any signs of wear or looseness. Tighten any loose screws if necessary.

6. Troubleshooting

• Device is Unstable:

  Ensure the tripod legs are fully extended and placed on a flat, stable surface. Verify that your device is securely attached to the 1/4 inch screw and the locking knob on the ball head is tightened. Check that the central column is locked at one of the height levels.
• Difficulty Adjusting Height:

  Ensure no debris is obstructing the central column. Apply gentle, even pressure when extending or collapsing. If it feels stiff, clean the column with a dry cloth.

• Ball Head Not Holding Position:

  Confirm that the locking knob on the ball head is fully tightened. If the issue persists, ensure your device's weight does not exceed the maximum load capacity of 3kg.
