Set Up Instructions:
1. Setting up the tripod: Upon removing the tripod from the bag all
knobs will be tightened. To set up the tripod, you will first need to
loosen the set screw on the leg brace. Pull the legs outward from
the center pole and then you will be able to push in a downward
motion on the top of the brace while holding the center pole (See
Figure 1). Continue pushing downward until the legs are fully
extended. Once the legs are fully extended, you will need to tighten
the set screw to secure the legs into position.
2. Adjusting the height of your tripod: Your light stand is adjustable
in height up to 10 feet. To adjust the height, simply loosen the top
set screw, and then pull in an upward motion up to the desired
height. To achieve full extension it is recommended that you first
loosen the top set screw and fully extend the top section of the
tripod. Once fully extended, tighten up the top set screw and
repeat this process with the bottom section (See Figure 2).
3. Reversible adapter: The light stand includes a reversible adapter
which is used for various lighting and photographic equipment. The
adapter has 3/8" and 1/4" screw threads and also has been
precision machined to securely mount strobe lights. The adapter
locks into place using a push button and set screw. To remove the
adapter, simply loosen the set screw, press the button in and pull
the adapter up (See figure 3).
Optional ATD Tripod Dolly*: To easily maneuver your light stand,
we recommend our universal heavy duty Ravelli ATD Tripod Dolly.
The ATD dolly is an excellent choice for use with your professional
light stand, background stands, and also video and camera tripods.
These dollies offer smooth movement with 3" rubber wheels and
metal ball bearings. The Ravelli ATD also includes a one-step lock
on each wheel to securely hold your tripod in place. The dolly is
easily folded and has a carrying handle built in and includes a
protective bag.
