1. Adjusting Tripod Height and Angle

The tripod's 4-section telescopic legs can be adjusted from a minimum height of 20 inches (51 cm) to a maximum height of 62.2 inches (158 cm) using the flip-locks. The leg angle adjustment buckles allow for quick changes between 23°, 55°, and 85° to adapt to various terrains and shooting requirements.

2. Lilo Ori Ball

The detachable ball head provides flexible camera positioning. Use the damping adjustment knob to control the tension of the ball joint, allowing for smooth 360° swivel and 90° tilt movements. The 360° horizontal scale on the ball head base assists in precise panoramic alignment.

3. Monopod Functionality

One of the tripod legs can be detached and combined with the center column and ball head to form a monopod. This is ideal for situations requiring quick mobility or when space is limited. To convert:

  1. Unscrew the leg with the foam grip from the tripod spider.
  2. Unscrew the ball head from the center column.
  3. Attach the ball head to the top of the detached leg.
  4. The monopod can extend up to 64.2 inches (163 cm).

4. Reversible Center Column for Low-Angle Shots

For extreme low-angle photography, the center column can be inverted:

  1. Unscrew the hook at the bottom of the center column.
  2. Remove the center column from the tripod spider.
  3. Reinsert the center column upside down into the tripod spider and tighten it.
  4. Attach your camera to the inverted column for ground-level perspectives.
