• For every system setup on a tripod, use a tripod that is designed according to the total weight.
• When setting up a system on uneven surfaces, such as gravel or grass, always put a pressure-resistant surface under all four spindle feet! Make sure that all four spindle feet rest completely on the pressure-resistant shims and that the surface can withstand the total weight! Note that
• depending on the system design, either the front or rear spindle feet may be able to carry more weight!
• Make sure that no one can trip over your system structures, or over individual components! This is especially true for all pressure-resistant shims, tripod legs, and guy ropes!
• Any influences on your system setup, such as leaning against objects (or people) and flying objects around, be refrained from!
