How to use

Extend the legs to the required height and secure each leg lock to ensure the tripod is rigid. Mount the camera on the tripod head or quick-release plate according to the camera and head interface, then check that the camera is safely fastened. Adjust the centre column if fine height correction is needed and level the tripod using any built-in spirit level or by eye. Before shooting, verify that all leg sections and head adjustments are tightened to prevent movement during exposure or recording.

Recommendations

Use the Primax 380 on stable, flat surfaces and avoid exceeding the 3.5 kg load limit. When working outdoors in windy conditions, lower the tripod height and, if possible, add a payload to the centre column hook or use a sandbag to improve stability. For transport, collapse the legs and secure the locks to protect moving parts.
