Setting Up the Tripod
Attaching a Camera
Operating the VT-4000-PRO
Extend the legs from the top flip-locks first.
Determine whether the rubber feet or the spikes are
appropriate for the setup surface. To use the spikes, remove
the rubber feet by pulling up on the circular tabs and sliding
the rubber feet off the spikes.
To replace the rubber feet, make sure a spike is on either side
of the foot. Stretch the tab over the hook to secure the foot
over the spikes.
Plant the front leg of the tripod. Lift the back two legs, and
pull back to spread the tripod. Adjust the legs’ height and
positions until the tripod is stable.
Fine-tune the head alignment with the leveling knob. Refer
to the bubble level to ensure the head is aligned with the
horizon.
Adjust the angle of the handle by loosening the arm angle
lock. To move the handle to the other side of the head,
unscrew the lock, and reattach the handle on the opposite
side.
Remove the quick-release plate by sliding the locking lever
until it clicks.
Attach the quick-release plate to the base of your camera
with the 1/4-20 mounting screw and guide pin.
If your camera has a 3/8-16 socket, remove the rubber
washer from the screw hole, and replace the 1/4-20 with the
included 3/8-16 screw.
Attach the camera and quick-release plate to the head by
seating one end of the quick-release plate into the back of
the mounting plate (opposite the locking lever). Then
press the other side down until it locks into place.
To balance the camera, loosen the balance slide lock, and
adjust the plate position. Tighten the balance slide lock
until secure.
Make a note of your camera’s position on the increment
scale, so you can easily balance your camera the next time
you use it.

Turn the pan locking knob clockwise to lock the horizontal
position of the camera.
The VT-4000-PRO is designed with fixed pan. When the
panning motion is unlocked, the head will always have the
same amount of tension. Tighten the tilt lock knob to fix the
vertical position of the camera.
Tighten the tilt drag knob for more resistance to
counterbalance heavier camera setups and for slower and
smoother tilt control.
