The column is packed using dense foam to protect against reasonable impacts. If the box is handled roughly it will show signs of transit damage. Carefully inspect all components prior to assembly. If there are damaged parts, do not assemble the stand. If the damage is noticeable such as cracks or broken off parts contact your dealer for exchange.

Intended Use
This product is intended for use by professional and commercial photographers
in a studio environment with a high ceiling. The wheels are designed to be
used indoors on a floor that is smooth, hard, flat and unobstructed. The
Studio Stands with internal counterweight are designed to be used at all times
with a load (Camera or laptop shelf or both).
CAUTION: This product is not recommended for use by hobbyists or in a
household environment with a low ceiling or carpeted floors. Carpeting or
pitted surfaces are not recommended because of the increased rolling
resistance which can cause the stand to tip over. If the surface is not ideal,
the stand must be moved with CAUTION, very slowly, using both hands one at the
top and the other at the bottom to steady the stand in order to prevent the
stand from tipping over. If the surface is not ideal, lower the load to waist
level before moving the stand. We also recommend the use of a sandbag or
weight attached at the base when conditions are not ideal to prevent tipping
over. Ultimately it’s the users responsibility to understand how the stand
operates and to use the stand within its specification limits, as intended to
insure their own safety and the safety of their equipment. It is also
recommended to use a short tether cable to secure the camera to the stand in
the event that the head, head plate, attachment stud or camera adapter plate
comes loose or fails. Please read all documentation prior to assembly.

Theory of Operation
A studio stand is used by professional and commercial photographers to capture
images accurately and repeatably.
It provides a rigid and stable platform for professional DSLR imaging cameras.
It allows the photographer to focus on the subject matter and image
composition instead of holding the camera.
It provides a variety of creative options that are unachievable when hand holding a camera. A studio stand is a tool. It provides the user with added technical process steps that brings out the best in High Resolution Sensors. A studio stand reduces vibration which increases image sharpness and clarity. With a head, it allows the user to accurately zero or datum the camera and then maintain camera to subject flatness of field the vertical planes oftravel. The flatness of field is maintained as the user moves the stand vertically.
Tip Over Hazard
Caution must be used when moving the stand to prevent tip over. Move the stand slowly and avoid uneven surfaces as well as low and high level objects. Additional caution must be used when the Side Kick Arm with load (Camera ) is used in the upper area above the midpoint of the stand.
