The tripod features a hidden hook at the bottom of the center column. Attach a sandbag or backpack to this hook to increase stability.

To adjust the angle of each leg, press and hold the Angle Adjust Button at the top of the leg. Move the leg to the desired angle (High, Middle, or Low Angle) and release the button to lock it. To fold the tripod for storage, use the same button to adjust the legs into a 180° reverse folding position.

Follow these steps to create a monopod:

2. Unscrew the stability hook from the bottom of the center column and pull the center column out of the tripod base.

3. Install the center column onto the detached leg to complete the monopod assembly.
