Instructions
for use of MultiTripod® stand
Use in a motorcar, on a table, as a macro- and reprostand
When using the stand in a motorcar, as a table stand, a macrostand or
reprostand, the stand head is always mounted to the stand, whereupon
the camera equipment, the camera with objective, video camera,
telescope or other such equipment is mounted to the stand head in the
normal manner.
Shoulder and
chest support
When using the stand as a shoulder and chest support, usually camera
equipment with telephoto lens, e.g. 80-200 mm or 300 mm etc., or a
video camera for similar photographing or filming situations, the
equipment is mounted directly to the stand with the aid of the
fastening screw and the tightening knob, but without the stand head.
The finger pattern in
the mounting part of the equipment is designed to provide a firm hold
on the stand when using the stand as a chest support, for example,
when photographing or filming nature with a telephoto lens or when
used by press photographers with e.g. 50-350 mm or corresponding zoom
lenses.
The stand is easy to
use also for macrophotography of plants, as it does the splits in many
ways. If the ground is soft, use a suitable stone, tree or such under
the stand, if required (hereby an angular viewfinder and a cable
release are usually used with the camera).
The stand has a holding
groove, wherein the car's window edge is placed when close to its
lowest position, whereby the stand is supported on the bottom edge of
the window opening and with its triangle part of the car door under
the window opening. This makes it possible to use even heavy equipment
(e.g. a camera + 600 mm f 4.0 objective) for photographing and filming
from a motorcar.
Video:
Using the stand, it is easy to place a video camera a bit on the side
and direct the filming with the remote control, if the situation so
demands (when filming at home, in meetings etc.). Also children's
games, dog training and other such situations can be filmed easily
from the car, whereby filming is effortless and free from
disturbances. The same applies to observation of wild animals with a
telescope and to various filming from the car - the car functions as a
sort of hiding place and weather protection, and it adds to comfort,
mobility etc. in use.
Tilting lever
for right- and left-handed persons:
The stand can be used both by right- and left-handed persons. The
tilting lever at the swivel is screwed entirely off, when necessary,
and the triangle part is turned round, whereby the tilting lever is
turned back into its position from the opposite side. Thus, the
tilting lever is reversed for use by either right- or left-handed
persons.
Table mounting:
Please also note, that when required the stand may be mounted for use
on a table by using a screw press on the tabletop. When using a
photographic camera (macro- or reprophotography), use a cable or
delayed release to prevent shaking.
Sound
recording:
The stand is entirely coated, which means that it is not apt to
transmit noise or produce bangs, so it may well be used also for
directing microphones in sound recordings both indoors and in nature,
and you can also use this stand in cold weather in several situations
to prevent your hands from freezing.
Lighting:
It is easy to place and direct many kinds of lighting equipment, even
those requiring electric conductors, in lower, upper and side
positions and to bring about various reflected light from desired
angles, and also to place flashlight equipment with wireless control,
to put products on display etc. Always make sure that the equipment is
carefully mounted and that the stand is correctly positioned.
