Miller TRIPOD SERIES Bedienungsanleitung

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Miller SOLO VJ tripod.

SOLO VJ is a professional tripod, compatible with most 100mm ball

levelling pan & tilt heads. SOLO VJ is designed to support camcorders

in location and studio production environments.

The telescopic carbon fibre tubing ensures optimum rigidity and rapid

deployment, while the leg angle lock eliminates the need for a tripod

spreader. As a result, SOLO VJ features an operating height range

from a low 22cm (8.7”) up to an impressive 187cm (73”), with maximum

support stability maintained across its operating range.

Magnesium leg top and aluminium diecast components deliver the

ultimate in lightweight durability while the sturdy carry case,

detachable leg strap and rubber/spike complete a truly professional VJ

support package, for all DVCAM and ENG Camcorders.

Operation Manual

Please read this manual carefully prior to

using the SOLO VJ tripod. Do not omit

any steps.

The Manual contains important set-up,

pull-down, adjustment, safety and

maintenance information and should be

read in conjunction with the operating

manuals of the fluid head and camera you have

chosen to complement your SOLO VJ tripod.

Remove tripod from carry bag, undo clip on leg strap and

stand on a level surface (if possible). Depending on

surface, screw out rubber foot for non-scratch contact

to interior or hard surfaces or in for a spike on exterior

soft surfaces such as dirt or sand.

Note: Leg angle adjusters are spring loaded and self

adjusting. Do not hold leg angle adjuster up while spreading

tripod legs as this may cause leg angle adjusters to operate

improperly and potentially damage the tripod.

Maximum Height:

(Leg angle adjustment is not required)

1 Separate legs slightly so they are

parallel.

2 Working with each leg individually,

grip each concentric lock and

release one turn (see leg lock

direction label on leg).

3 Extend to desired length and

turn each concentric lock to

engage firmly. Repeat

process for remaining legs.

4 Spread tripod legs (Fig. 2)

and adjust leg length to

ensure tripod bowl is

approximately level.

5 Level the fluid head using bubble level and ball

levelling feature of fluid head.

Minimum Height:

Note: It is recommended that

minimum height position is used only

with legs at their shortest length.

1 Pull up leg angle adjuster until it locks into a raised

position (Fig. 3). Repeat for all three locks.

2 Holding one leg on the ground pull the remaining two

outward, spreading the tripod to its lowest position. Leg

angle adjuster will automatically engage the leg to hold

the tripod at its lowest

height position (Fig. 4).

Mid Position:

Note: This refers to the Mid leg

angle position, not necessarily the

height of the tripod.

The SOLO VJ tripod has three leg angle

positions. The middle leg angle position

(Fig.7) is self-engaging after

unspreading leg from fully spread

position (Fig.6). The Mid Position is

chosen for optimum stability in the 60-

140cm tripod height range, but is not

recommended if the tripod is being used

in a crowded situation,

due to the wide

diameter, or footprint

spread, of the extended

tripod.

1 Remove camera from fluid head.

2 Close the tripod legs so all are pointing

straight down and disengage all

concentric locks.

3 Holding the bowl, lower tripod to its

shortest length and re-engage

concentric locks.

4 Fold legs fully together (Fig. 1) fit leg strap and return tripod to

carry bag if finished shooting.

Shoulder Strap

SOLO VJ’s Shoulder Carry Strap

can be used looped (both ends

attached to the mounting point on

the bowl), to carry the tripod on

one shoulder.

it can be used attached to the

bowl and the Leg Strap “D” ring,

to carry the tripod across your

back with fluid head towards the

ground.

Leg to Bowl

Adjustment

The leg to bowl pivot joint on the Solo tripod should have no lateral

movement and should swing with a firm, smooth resistance. As this is

a spreader-less tripod, the leg pivot joint requires sufficient resistance

to hold the tripod legs together while being hand carried. Adjustment

is usually not required, however, should it become necessary, the

following procedure must be observed.

1 Lay tripod on a flat surface with legs closed in transport

position.

2 Using 17mm spanner (supplied), gently tighten nut to

achieve firm, smooth movement of the leg while still having

sufficient tension to hold the legs together when tripod is being

hand carried.

3 Check leg resistance by swinging leg fully open (using leg angle

adjuster) and ensure that all legs open with a similar degree of

effort. Tighten or loosen bolts as necessary.

Important: Remember not to over-tighten as this may

cause too much resistance when swinging the legs open.
