SLIK U9000 Camcorder Accessories User Manual


 
To rotate the camera left or right, loosen the Panning Lock Knob. When
you want to lock in at a certain position, tighten the Knob.
For vertical position shots with your still camera, Ioosen the vertical tilt
lock Knob, and tilt the Camera Platform to the desired position.
Then lock the Vertical Tilt Lock Knob.
Loosen the Center Column Locking Collar, and turn the Elevation Crank
Handle to raise or lower the Center Column.
Always be certain to tighten the Locking Collar before taking your hands
off the Crank Handle to prevent accidental falls.
The “Center Lock” mechanism featured in this model prevents unwanted
camera movements which often occurs when tightening the center col-
umn.
Holding two legs, one in each hand, tilt the tripod on its third leg.
Pull the two legs you are holding outward, and all three legs will open at
once. Open until the Center Column Ring is seated at the very bottom of
the Center Column.
To close the legs, be sure to first raise the Center Column Ring up slight-
ly, and then push the legs close.
Flip up the Leg Lock Lever to
extend or shorten any of the indi-
vidual leg sections to the desired
length, and press the Leg Lock
Lever flush against the Leg to
lock.
For greater stableness, use the
thicker leg columns first.
Use the Center Column Tension Adjustment Tube located around the
Center Column if you wish to adjust the tension of the Center Column
movement.
Rotate the tube counterclockwise to increase tension.
For less tension, rotate clockwise.
