Tips

For maximum stability in windy conditions, hang your camera bag from the center column hook (if available) or use the lowest leg angle setting. When shooting low to the ground, remove the center column entirely and attach your camera directly to the ball head for a minimum height of just 14 cm. The included phone mount turns this tripod into a versatile smartphone rig for vlogging or live streaming. Always ensure the lever cam locks are fully tightened before mounting heavy gear.
