Care and Maintenance for your FEISOL Tripod
Like all other instruments, your FEISOL tripod needs some routine care to keep it in top
operating condition for many years.
The very best maintenance is preventative care: The largest threat is posed by sand and
grit which works its way into the joints and locks of your tripod. The best way to counteract
this potential hazard is to rinse the legs or wipe them with a damp cloth before collapsing
them, whenever you notice residual sand after shooting.
In the event that grit has still accumulated, occasional cleaning and re- lubricating of all
moving parts is a good idea. The most vulnerable spots are the twistlocks where the
different leg-sections collapse.
Cleaning of the twistlocks
1.) For each section, unscrew the twistlock cover completely (work on one section at a
time, rather than undoing them all at once).
2.) Pull out the lower leg section.
3.) At the tip of the carbon tube you will find a large C-Ring and a series of 4
Compression Rings – the fourth one tends to “hide out” inside the twist lock cover
(some older models have only 3 Compression rings).
