SUPPORTING THE ART

OF PHOTOGRAPHY

ORBIT TRIPOD

The Orbit tripod is a full service photo and video tripod,

featuring fully adjustable legs and shaft, as well as the

Orbit overhead shot system, which allows the shaft to

rotate outwards from the legs, for low angle, overhead,

and other specialty shots.

The head mount can be removed and ipped over

to mount either a ¼ -20 or 3/8-16 head.

Once the head is mounted, tighten the screws

underneath to insure the head doesn’t come loose,

even when torqued in the counter- clockwise direction.

When used indoors, unscrew the foot covers so

that the spikes are covered by the rubber feet.

These will ensure a better grip on smooth ooring,

and prevent damage.

For outdoor use or rocky ground, screw the rubber

feet down to expose the spikes. These will provide

better grip on soft or impressionable surfaces.

Remember to apply the rubber protectors as

needed before spreading the legs.

To extend or retract the leg sections, open the ip lock

at the end of each section, apply rm force in the

direction you wish.

To secure the leg in that position, close the ip lock.

Test the lock by placing pressure on the leg BEFORE

attaching the camera, if the leg sections collapse into

each other while the leg lock is closed, use an Allen

Wrench to tighten the leg locks. Open all legs to a

uniform height for maximum stability.

Once all of the legs are extended to a uniform height,

spread the legs apart until they are stopped by the leg

angle lock. For normal use the lock should be set to

the lowest step.

For low angle and wider leg spread, pull the leg angle

lock out to allow it to engage with a higher step, for a

wider leg spread. There are three leg angle positions:

85°, 60° and 35°.

For uneven terrain, steps, or other leveling

challenges, you can either extend the legs

to different heights to accommodate for

differences, or spread one of the legs wider

than another, or usually, a combination

of these options.

There is a bubble level on the top plate to

assist in leveling the tripod.

USING THE TRIPOD

ADDING AND ADJUSTING A TRIPOD HEAD

EXTENDING THE LEGS

ADJUSTING THE FEET

One of the legs has a soft grip surface on it. In cold

weather handle the tripod by this surface to avoid

touching the colder sections.

There are 3 knobs in the shaft control section:

the rotation knob, the elevation knob, and the shaft

angle knob. Each of these knobs controls a range of

the shaft’s motion. At the bottom of the shaft is the

shaft release button. All of these play a role in using

the Tripod’s Orbit Overhead System.

In regular use, the elevation knob will be the most

commonly adjusted. Use it to raise and lower the shaft

during normal photography and videography. If for

some reason during a shoot you want to turn the

camera by rotating the shaft (rather than adjusting

the tripod head), you can use the rotation knob to

allow that. For best stability, the rotation knob and

elevation knob should be kept tightened otherwise.

To use the Orbit Overhead System, loosen the

elevation knob and the shaft angle knob. It might be

easier to loosen the rotation knob at this point as well.

Raise the shaft. When the shaft stops because of the

safety lock, press upwards on the shaft release button

to allow the shaft to travel up past the rst collar.

DO NOT ALLOW THE SHAFT TO PASS THE SECOND COLLAR.

When the shaft has cleared the rst collar, tilt the shaft in

the direction of shaft angle knob, and use the shaft angle

knob to lock the shaft angle into the desired vector.

Adjust the shaft’s protrusion and lock the elevation knob.

If you want to rotate the shaft around the tripod axis, use

the rotation knob to control movement. Before mounting

the camera, account for the off-center weight of the

camera, and add counterbalance or adjust the legs as

needed. Never release the setup until you are sure that

the tripod is stable and will not shift.

For more stability, consider spreading the legs more,

especially when mounting a longer lens or for more uid

control. The shaft can be rotated to any desired angle, or

even inverted to shoot close up overhead shots.

Parts of the tripod are electrically conductive.

Do not use in unsafe areas on during thunderstorms.

Always check all joints and locks before mounting

a camera on the tripod.

The legs should always be spread when mounting

a camera.

Always make sure the legs are spread before sliding

the shaft, to prevent damage and chafng.

Use the rubber protectors to avoid unintended damage.

Don’t use selective color.

Do not use the tripod in unsafe ways; it is intended for

photographic use only. Never use the tripod to support

something hazardous such as electrical, caustic or

ammable items. Put your menorah someplace else.

Do not exceed the maximum suggested load.

No means no.

Avoid over-balancing and tipping the tripod when used

with the shaft extended.

For additional stability, you can attach a weight to the

mounting ring on the top plate.
