Leg Strap
The Leg Strap is attached to largest diameter leg
tube (as delivered from factory) using ‘hook
and loop’ tape.
The Leg strap also has a “D”
ring attachment point for
the shoulder strap if
required. Check the Leg
Strap periodically to ensure
hook and loop tape is secure.
Maintenance
Regularly inspect tripod for damage or grit. Pay particular
attention to carbon fibre tubes, concentric locks, leg angle
adjusters, condition of bowl, feet and general operation of the
tripod.
Keep grit and dirt out of leg angle adjusters. If leg angle adjusters
or legs grind or stick during operation they may have grit in
contact with their sliding surfaces. The affected parts will require
disassembly and cleaning. Failure to do so may result in
excessive wear and breakage of tripod components.
Regularly clean tripod with a damp rag or soft brush. Wipe off all
sand, dust and salt spray. Do not clean with solvents, cleaning
fluids, lubricants, polishes, abrasives or wire brushes.
Transport and store tripod in Miller bag or case wherever
possible. Store tripod in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Safety
Read the Operator’s
Manual
Miller recommends that all camera
support equipment should be carried in a
carry bag to reduce the risk of accidental
damage during transport. All Miller SOLO
systems include a carry bag to protect the
tripod and reduce exposure to dust and moisture
during transport and storage.
Ensure that the weight of the camera/lens/battery payload
mounted on your tripod does not exceed the recommended
capacity of the fluid head. This will ensure that the tripod and
fluid head you have chosen will operate to their specification.
Note that any offset payload, such as a telephoto lens, will exert a
forward offset load on the support system. Refer to your fluid
head users guide to ensure these loads are properly balanced.
Never set up or pull down a tripod while a camera is mounted on it.
The camera base should be fastened to a suitable camera plate
and tripod plate prior to mounting. The camera should be
attached to the fluid head only after all tripod leg locks are
positively engaged (in locked position) and the tripod is on a
stable surface.
The safe operation of the tripod is the responsibility
of the operator.
