Installing the Head

2. Tighten the screws at the bottom of the Half Ball Base.

3. Place the Half Ball Base with the fluid head into the bowl of the tripod.
   Level the head via the bubble level and secure the ball locking handle onto the bottom of the head on the underside of the tripod bowl.

Extending Tripod Legs

Lift up the leg tube flip locking lever to loosen the leg tube. Adjust the height to the ideal working condition, and then press down the flip locking lever to lock the leg tube tight for use.

Adjusting the Locking Force

Release the flip locking lever, then turn the screw clockwise using the provided Allen Wrench. Normally a half of a turn will be sufficient to achieve the correct locking tension.
