How to use Manfutu tripod

How to use the Manfutu tripod:

1. When using it on the flat ground, all three legs of the tripod must be opened to form a regular triangle. If it is used on steps or slopes, first adjust the two legs of the tripod to the same length and put them under it, and then shorten the other leg to the length that makes the central axis of the tripod perpendicular to the ground plane.

2. To adjust the height of the tripod, the three legs of the tripod should be extended and retracted, instead of just using the central axis to adjust. The central axis of the tripod is mainly used for fine adjustment. If the central axis rises too high, the center of gravity will move up, thus reducing the stability of the tripod and the safety when shooting.

3. When shooting, pay attention to ensure that all devices of the tripod are locked, so as to ensure the quality of photos taken and the safety of photographic equipment.

4. When using a tripod in a place with strong wind, you should lower the tripod as much as possible to shoot, or you can hang a weight that is easy to get around you on the hook at the bottom of the tripod column to increase stability. The weight should not be too large, otherwise it will be easily blown by the wind.

5. The ground is not strong enough, such as soft grass. You can extend the fixing nails on the tripod feet and insert them into the ground to fix them, so as to improve the stability of the tripod.

6. Friendly reminder: When I use the tripod, the camera strap is always on my head and neck to prevent the tripod from falling down.
