Alignment Peg faces north, if you are located at
northern hemisphere. If you are located in southern
half, face the Alignment Peg south. Thread the tripod
center rod into the tripod head and install the
Accessory Tray and tread the Tray Locking Knob onto
it. Do not fully tighten the Tray Locking Knob.
The Alignment Peg may be moved to the opposite
position shall the mount hit the tripod leg when used at
a high latitude.
