There are 6 tightening locks down the legs
in total. Each can be loosened to extend the
height of the tripod. The tripod has a
maximum height of around 165cm tall.
You can open out the locks by pulling on
the side or close them by pushing down.
At the base of the legs are a
set of spreaders. Loosening
the screws allows you to
open these spreaders out.
Loosening the toggle on the arm allows
you to increase or decrease the arm’s
length to a more comfortable position.
To remove the tripod
from the spreader, pull
up on the rubber clip on
the spreader and then
push it down over the
foot. You should then be
able to release the foot.
The 504 head has a counterbalance
system, located on the side here. Shifting
this toggle activates or deactivates the
spring inside the head and increase the
strength of the counterbalancing.
