FAQs
What is the maximum height of the tripod?
The tripod can be extended up to 100cm.
Does it come with a phone holder?
Yes, it includes an adjustable phone holder.
What material is the tripod made from?
The tripod is constructed from aluminum.
Is it suitable for professional cameras?
While it can hold a camera directly, its lightweight nature makes it best suited for smaller cameras or smartphones. Heavier DSLRs may be unstable, especially at full extension or in breezy conditions.
How compact is it when stored?
It has a closed length of 35cm and comes with a storage bag, making it very portable.
Can I use it in the rain?
Yes, but it is recommended to wipe it dry and allow it to air dry completely before storing to prevent corrosion.
What is the benefit of the storage bag?
The storage bag protects the tripod from scratches, dust, and makes it easier to carry alongside other fishing gear.
Troubleshooting
Tripod is wobbly at full extension.
Ensure the central column lock is fully tightened. Avoid extending to the maximum height in windy conditions or consider using a heavier camera or placing weights on the legs.
Phone holder doesn't grip the phone securely.
Check that the phone holder's tension mechanism is properly adjusted. Ensure your phone is centered within the holder for balanced grip.
Camera screw mount feels loose.
Ensure the camera is correctly threaded onto the mount. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads on either the camera or the tripod.
Parts are stiff to move.
Gently work the legs and extension mechanism back and forth. If the issue persists, a small amount of silicone lubricant applied to the sliding parts might help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unfold the tripod legs until stable. Extend the central column to your desired height by loosening and tightening the locking mechanism. Attach your smartphone to the adjustable phone holder, or screw your camera directly onto the tripod's mounting point.
Compatibility: The included phone holder is designed to fit most standard smartphones. The standard tripod mount screw (1/4"-20 UNC) is compatible with most digital cameras, DSLRs, and action cameras.
Care: After use, especially in wet or muddy conditions, wipe the tripod legs and mechanism clean with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts are dry before storing to prevent corrosion. Store the tripod in its supplied bag to protect it from dust and damage.
