How to use

Set up the tripod on a level surface and extend the legs to the desired height, locking each section securely. Mount the camera to a compatible head or directly to the tripod plate following the camera manufacturer's instructions. To convert to monopod mode, release the designated coupling mechanism and detach or reconfigure the central column and leg assembly as instructed in the product manual; once converted, lock the monopod sections and adjust the height for stable single-leg support. Reverse these steps to return to tripod mode.

Usage recommendations

For best stability, use the tripod on firm ground and fully extend the central column only when necessary; when shooting in windy conditions or on uneven terrain, position the legs at a wider angle for increased support. Regularly check and tighten leg locks and the conversion mechanism before each session, and transport the unit in a protective bag to reduce wear during travel.
