　　How to install a camera tripod

　　For the novice who is using an SLR tripod for the first time, how to use it is a problem. A photographer posted on Baidu Tieba: "I want to go out to shoot night scenes immediately, but I suddenly remember that the tripod I bought will not be installed!" In order to avoid his situation, we must learn how to install a SLR tripod in advance! How to mount a tripod.

　　Step 1: Expand the tripod.

　　The tripods on the market are generally designed to be anti-folding, which is smaller in size and more convenient to carry. If your tripod happens to be designed like this, then you need to flip all 3 legs of the tripod to a position of about 150°.

　　Step 2: Adjust the height and height.

　　Adjust the height and angle of the tripod to an appropriate position to ensure that the tripod can be placed on a level surface, and that the legs and central axis are locked. Note: In order to meet the shooting height, first consider starting from the leg with the largest diameter, and the leg with the smallest diameter is second to last, and finally consider the central axis.

　　Step 3: Get on the camera.

　　This step depends on the specific situation. Generally, there are 2 cases: with gimbal and without gimbal.

　　For a tripod with a gimbal, do the following:

　　Tighten the quick release plate to the screw hole at the bottom of the camera, and then clamp the quick release plate and the camera together with the gimbal.

　　For a tripod without a gimbal, do the following:

　　Use the carrier plate bolts on the center bearing plate of the tripod to fix the camera. In this case, pay attention to whether the size of the bolt (screw) is consistent with the size of the screw hole at the bottom of the SLR camera. Generally speaking, the size of the screw hole on the bottom of the SLR camera is 1/4", and the size of the middle bearing plate bolt is 3/8". Therefore, to mount the camera directly on the mid-range carrier plate, an additional conversion is required. Dingli tripod has carefully designed the dual-purpose center bearing plate bolts with this situation in mind - 1/4" on one end and 3/8" on the other end. When the camera is directly mounted on the tripod without a gimbal, just fasten the 1/4" end of the carrier plate bolt and the screw hole at the bottom of the camera together.
