Setting Up the Table Tripod
Your spotting scope comes with a table tripod to support it for more stability when viewing. To set up the tripod:

Spread each of the three tripod legs outward until they come to a stop.

Make sure the pan handle and pan locking knob are tight (turn clockwise) with the mounting platform level.

Place the bottom of the spotting scope on top of the mounting platform where the tripod mounting screw will thread into the
1/4x20 hole in the plate on the bottom of the spotter. Secure the spotting scope by tightening the screw firmly.

You can adjust the central column of the tripod to the height you desire by loosening the central column tightening ring (turn
it counterclockwise) with one hand and holding the spotting scope in the other hand. After raising or lowering the central
column to where you want it, then tighten firmly the central column tightening ring.
