Mounting the Track to Tripods 

 

First mount the tripod adapter plate by screw to the thread of segments (spigot adapter plate 
ensures high stability and comes with waterbird tripods or can be ordered separately) 

 

    

 

 

It is recommended to have a support tripod or pole every 5-6 segments for lightweight loads 
like PTZ cameras or every 3 segments for heavy loads. 

Finally connect the track to the tripods by sliding in the adapter plates into the tripods and fix 
it with tripod locking screw.
