6. Installation
6.1 Tripod Installation
6.1.1 Tripod Base
The tripod base has three independently adjustable legs allowing the tripod to
be installed over non-level terrain.
Prepare the area where the tripod will be installed. The tripod requires an area
approximately 2.7 to 3.5 m (8.7 to 11.5 ft) in diameter. Natural vegetation and
the ground surface should be disturbed as little as possible, but brush and tall
weeds should be removed.
Stand the tripod base up on end, and rotate the feet perpendicular to the legs.
Each leg has a leg clamp and clamping bolt as shown in FIGURE 6-1.
