How to use

Fit the lighting head or mounting accessory onto the 5/8" male stud or into the 1"1/8 female receiver and tighten according to the accessory’s instructions. When mounting heavy equipment, ensure the load does not exceed 25 kg and check that all locks and connections are secure before use.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, mount heavy heads close to the centre column, distribute weight evenly across the legs, and avoid sudden lateral forces. Use braked wheels if frequent repositioning is required (wheels sold separately). Regularly inspect locking mechanisms and connection points for wear and tighten as needed.
