Finally, re-attach the star leg to elastic loop, repeat for each of the other two legs.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Always place a heavy weight or several filled sandbags in the centre of the Tripod Star. This will 
prevent the Tripod blowing over in strong winds. Make sure the weight is sufficient to ensure 
the Tripod cannot be blown over even in the strongest wind. 

 

Tripod Installation on Soft Ground 

To install the Tripod into soft ground such as turf or soft soil, simply push down the spiked legs 
into ground as far as they can go. The Tripod Star should be used as described above for extra 
stability in strong winds. Fit the Tripod Star before pushing the spiked legs into the ground. 

 

Wall Bracket 

The supplied Wall Bracket may be used to hold the microphone instead of the tripod. An 
assessment should be made of the effect of adjacent walls and buildings on the free field 
performance of the microphone. The Boom Arm can also be fitted to the Wall Bracket.
