Product Overview

The Ravelli is a very light tripod that extends to a height of " inches. With a weight
of just over 1 LB, this tripod will not weigh you down. This tripod is constructed of
aluminum legs and a hard plastic head. It has the ability to change the cameras
orientation from portrait to landscape. The legs have rubber feet for stability on
various surfaces. The legs have 3 extendable segments for varying height. This
tripod also has an extendable center column for easy movement and adjustment.

Identifying the parts
Using the Tripod
Initial Set Up

To begin using the tripod, open the carrying bag using the zipper and pull the
tripod out of protective bag.

Height Adjustment

Adjusting the height of the APLT2 is done by snapping open the black leg
locks (G), extending the legs down to the desired height, and then snapping close
the leg locks. For additional height, turn the center column knob (F) counter
clockwise to loosen and pull up the center column to reach more height. Lock the
center column by turning counter clockwise to prevent it from retracting down.
(Note: When adjusting height, try to extend the thicker leg segment, as they are
thicker and provide greater stability.)

Mounting Your Camera

To secure the camera to the tripod plate, match the ¼” screw (A) on the
tripod to the mounting screw hole on the bottom of your camera. Turn the knob
clockwise to secure the camera.
Note: It may be easier to mount the camera with the tripod head in portrait
orientation.

Panning & Tilting

Tilting - To control the resistance of the tilt, turn the handle (E) clockwise for
greater resistance or counter clockwise for less resistance to easily tilt up and
down.

Panning- For smooth consistent panning, tighten or loosen the panning


adjustment knob (D) until the right amount of resistance is obtained. Turning the
knob clockwise will tighten it and make panning slow and firmer. Turning the knob
counter-clockwise to loosen it will make panning fast and easy.

(Note: Finding the right amount of panning resistance will give you smooth and
optimal speed for great captures. We also recommend the use of sand bags to
provide greater stability when panning.)
Care & Maintenance
Clean the tripod with a damp clean cloth.

Storage

Store your tripod in the provided carry bag to protect it.

Caution: There is a tipping risk for the fully extended tripods. This can be
due to moving the tripods while fully extended, things such as uneven
surfaces or wind. To reduce the risk of tipping over, we recommend placing
one tripod leg facing the same direction as the camera or the heavy part of
mounted equipment to balance the weight. We also recommend purchasing
sand bags or weights to set on the tripod legs to hold the tripod in place.
Ravelli™ guarantees the tripod only and is not liable for damage caused to
backdrops, cameras, lighting, or any other items.
Caution: Always ensure all leg lock knobs, center column knob and head knobs
are securely tightened before placing it on a firm surface.

***Optional ATD Tripod Dolly: To easily maneuver your tripod or stands, we


recommend our universal heavy duty Ravelli ATD Tripod Dolly. The ATD
dolly is an excellent choice for use with your professional background stands,
light stands, and also video and camera tripods. This dolly offers smooth
movement with 3" rubber wheels and metal ball bearings. The Ravelli ATD
also includes a one-step lock on each wheel to securely hold your tripod in
place. The dolly is easily folded and has a carrying handle built in and
includes a protective bag.
