ripod

Your spotting scope comes with a table tripod to support  
it for more stability when viewing. To set up the tripod:
•  Spread each of the three tripod legs outward until  
  they come to a stop.
•  Make sure the pan handle is tight (turn clockwise)  
  and that the mounting platform is relatively level.
•  Place the bottom of the spotting scope on top of the 
  mounting platform where the tripod mounting screw 
  will thread into the 1/4x20 hole in the plate on the 
  bottom of the spotter. Secure the spotting scope by 
  tightening the screw firmly (counterclockwise).
•  The pan handle controls movement of the spotting 
  scope. Unlocking the pan handle (turn counterclockwise) 
  allows you free movement up/down and left/right and 
  once at the position desired you lock the pan handle.
