1. Press the lever (G) to remove the quick release plate (D) from the panhead.
2. Thread the quick release plate onto the body of the spotting scope, binocular, or
camera and tighten the screw so the connection is secure—be sure the peg on the
tripod platform lines up with the molded area on the plate (see below).
3. Slide the quick release plate back into the groove on the plate platform (I). The
anti-twist pin (F) will retract if not needed.
4. Engage the quick release safety lock by pushing the small brass pin (H) to the right.
This pin prevents the accidental release of the lever.
Using the panhead
The all-metal Pro GT tripod features a
panhead with a quick release plate (QR).
To pan from left to right, loosen the pan
lock thumbscrew (J) and move the control handle (A) in the
desired direction. Turn the control handle counter-clockwise
to adjust the tilt; turn clockwise to tighten in place.
How to properly use the Pro GT quick release plate with your
spotting scope, binocular, or camera:
The Pro GT tripod head comes attached to the tripod legs, but needs
one final assembly step before use. Locate the three
set screws on the underside of the tripod connector
platform and tighten the screws down with a flathead
screwdriver.
