Tripod spreaders

Depending on which PRO-6
(Fig 2) or a mid-level spreader (Fig 3). Both tripod spreaders increase the rigidity of the tripod.
PRO-6 HDVF system
(Fig 2)
The PRO-6 HDVF system utilizes a floor spreader which, being flexible, compensates for uneven ground,
protects floors and carpets and prevents the tripod legs sinking into soft ground. It should be used at all
times.
NOTE: Always use the spreader where possible as this increases rigidity of the tripod. Being
flexible, the spreader compensates for uneven ground.
It can be removed and a dolly fitted.
At the fullest extension of the spreader and with all legs fully retracted, the tripod can be
used at its lowest operating height. Although the tripod can be set up lower than this
without the spreader, it is NOT recommended as the tripod geometry becomes unstable
Each arm is of the spreader is adjustable for length (23) and the tripod feet are secured by rubber straps
(24).

The PRO-6 HDVM system utilizes a mid-level spreader which fastens to the attachment points (26). There
are two spread settings, controlled by a knob (28), and the arm lengths can be adjusted using the extension
clamps (29) to compensate for uneven ground. A set of three feet (32) are also supplied with this system
to protect floors and carpets and prevents the tripod sinking into soft ground. The feet are secured to the
tripod by rubber straps (33).
NOTE: Always use the spreader where possible as this increases rigidity of the tripod.
Adjustable extension clamps compensate for uneven ground.
The spreader can be removed and a dolly fitted.
At the fullest extension of the spreader and with all legs fully retracted, the tripod can be
used at its lowest operating height. Although the tripod can be set up lower than this
without the spreader, it is NOT recommended as the tripod geometry becomes unstable
