How To Set Up a Tripod

A tripod is a device for steadying or mounting a camera. The first step for setting up a tripod is to unclip the clips on the 'legs' of the tripod. After unclipping them it is important to fully extend them before doing the clips back up. On the supporting pole in the middle of the tripod, there is a lock. twisting it right locks the pole in place where as twisting it right unlocks it so you can move it up or down. On the shoe, there is a small screw. This is to fixate the camera of your choice onto it. Then you have to fixate the shoe onto the tripod. Twisting the handle on the top of the tripod anticlockwise will listen the top part, allowing you to move the position of the camera. Twisting the same handle clockwise will tighten the top part, keeping your camera angle in place and stable.
