Shoulder Strap

SOLO VJ’s Shoulder Carry Strap
can be used looped (both ends
attached to the mounting point on
the bowl), to carry the tripod on
one shoulder.

OR

it can be used attached to the
bowl and the Leg Strap “D” ring,
to carry the tripod across your
back with fluid head towards the
ground.

Leg to Bowl
Adjustment

The leg to bowl pivot joint on the Solo tripod should have no lateral
movement and should swing with a firm, smooth resistance. As this is
a spreader-less tripod, the leg pivot joint requires sufficient resistance
to hold the tripod legs together while being hand carried. Adjustment
is usually not required, however, should it become necessary, the
following procedure must be observed.

1 Lay tripod on a flat surface with legs closed in transport

position.

2 Using 17mm spanner (supplied), gently tighten nut to

achieve firm, smooth movement of the leg while still having

sufficient tension to hold the legs together when tripod is being

hand carried.

3 Check leg resistance by swinging leg fully open (using leg angle

adjuster) and ensure that all legs open with a similar degree of

effort. Tighten or loosen bolts as necessary.

Important: Remember not to over-tighten as this may

cause too much resistance when swinging the legs open.
