If you purchased the Flex Tripod Kit (optional), the Stabilization
Kit must be used anytime the tripod is raised in the air,
regardless of conditions. Failure to use the Stabilization Kit may
result in serious injury or property damage. If you are using
your Focus Flex camera with a tripod you did not purchase
from Hudl, please follow the safety instructions provided by the
manufacturer for that tripod.
Position the tripod
Facing away from the sun, set up the tripod
approximately 10–20ft. (3–6m) from the sideline
and no more than 5ft. (1.5m) to the left or right of
the mideld line.
Note: The distance and height requirements allow the camera to
capture the whole eld, including all four corners and the near
sideline. The camera cannot be set up on the endline.

Set up the tripod
Loosen tripod knob (E), then expand the tripod legs
until the leg brace is parallel to the ground. Next,
tighten knob (E) to secure it in place. To keep the
tripod stable and the center column even with the
leg brace, do not adjust the bottom tripod knob.
02
Leg brace is parallel to
the ground and center
column is even with
the parallel leg brace.
Leave the Stabilization Kit adapter attached to the tripod after use.

property damage. The Stabilization Kit includes
safety cables and stakes for grass elds and a
sandbag for articial turf elds.

1. Ensure these items are attached to the tripod:
Rapid connect adapter and stabilization kit
attachment. For equipment reference, see page 2.
2. Attach the Stabilization Kit safety cables:
Taking the end of the Stabilization Kit safety cable
with the carabiner clip, attach the clip through
one of the holes of the stabilization kit attachment.
Repeat these steps with the remaining two
Stabilization Kit safety cables.

3. Turn on the camera
Remove the camera from the backpack and press
the power button on the back of the device—a white
light on the front of the camera will appear indicating
it is powered on.
4. Look for the angle adapter under the camera
Check that the angle adapter is properly fastened to
the bottom of the camera.
5. Attach the camera to the tripod
Pull the latch open on the tripod rapid connect
adapter and slide the camera (with the attached an-
gle adapter) onto this base. It should click once it’s
secure. Next, use the brass lever to lock the camera
into place. Make sure the camera is facing the eld
away from the sun, angled downwards and aligned
with the sideline.
7. Loop the safety cables around the stakes
Take the loose end of the safety cable and loop
around the hook of a stake. Do not tie the safety
cable to the stake. Repeat these steps with the
remaining two safety cables and stakes.
8. Stabilize the tripod
Push stakes into the ground, out away from the
tripod; using the metal safety cable adjuster, tighten
the safety cables, each a little bit at a time to ensure
all three safety cables are even.
9. Continue on to Step 04 to complete your setup.
6. Raise the camera
Raise the tripod to the recommended height, based
on your distance from the sideline—between 12 feet
and 20 feet or 3.6 meters and 6 meters. Check
page 12 for exact height and distance measurements.
Keep all knobs tightened, even the ones with
sections that aren’t extended. This will help keep the
camera pointed in the correct direction in case of
high winds.
