Quick Setup
1. A. Setup tripod: Expand the tripod legs and lock the
Tripod Spreader so that the tripod legs stay open
(Figure 1). Adjust the tripod height by unlocking and
re-locking the tripod legs to desired height. Position
the tripod so that the Alignment Peg faces north. (The
Alignment Peg may be moved to the opposite
position if used at latitude lower than 20º to avoid
counterweights hitting the tripod leg)
