Adjusting the variable leg angle spread
Adjust the tripod leg angles for ease of use in various scenarios. Push
in on the leg release button (K)
and lift the leg upward, setting it
at one of the three available angles.
Repeat with other legs as needed.
Adjusting the center column
Change the position of the center column (N) to gain additional height. Unlock the center
column by turning the thumbscrew (L) in a counter-clockwise direction. Maneuver the
center column to the desired height and lock in place by turning the thumbscrew in a
clockwise direction.
Using the level
Use the leveling bubble on the panhead (C) to gauge your alignment and allow for optimum
viewing and photography. The tripod will be level when the bubble is within the black circle.
The legs on the STX tripod
can be independently
adjusted to one of three
viewing positions.
Wrench set included.
Note:
To adjust tension on the leg lock,
release the flip-lever lock and tighten the
lever screw with an Allen wrench.
Adjusting the Camera Angle
The Pro GT tripod allows you to move the plate platform (I) for more convenient photography. Change your
camera position from a landscape to portrait format by turning the platform adjustment thumbscrew (B)
counter-clockwise, then flip the platform upright and turn the thumbscrew clockwise to lock the angle.
