D. Spike (optional) Installation
Model CM-1401: Remove the rubber cap on the end of the leg by twisting and working it
forward – it fits snugly in order to prevent it from coming off accidentally. After it is removed,
a thread is exposed at the tip of the leg, into which a long or short spike can be screwed (for
use on scratch- sensitive surfaces, remove spike and replace rubber cap).
Model CM-1471: Remove the rubber cap at the end of the leg by inserting a wooden stick or
similar object between the rubber cap and the aluminum ring at the end of the leg (see
picture). By pushing forward around the ring, the rubber cap can be removed, exposing a
thread into which the spike can be screwed and locked tightly into place with the included
wrench.
Once the spike is in place, it does not need to be removed again, because the metal tip of
the spike can be receded into its rubber sleeve when desired (for use on scratch- sensitive
surfaces).
Please note that damage to your tripod’s Carbon Tubes or Aluminum parts can occur when
they dropped, squeezed, overloaded, or forced downward (eg. into sand dunes or
snowbanks). Please exercise care to avoid such conditions.
