TWILIGHT SERIES MOUNTS
PARTS
Please Note: We recommend that you keep the original shipping box and packing
materials if possible, in case your mount should ever need to be returned for service or
warranty purposes.
Before beginning the assembly process, we recommend taking an inventory of all
parts. For both mounts, the original shipping container will have three boxes inside. The
smallest of these is an empty spacer, and the largest holds the tripod assembly, which
includes a stabilizing plate/accessory tray.
On the Twilight I, the mid-size box contains the head mount, a center support shaft, two
slow-motion controls, two locking pins, a cup washer, an e-clip, two standard washers,
and a 4.5mm hex wrench.
On the Twilight II, the mid-size box contains the head mount and its base, a pier
extension assembly, a center support shaft, a cup washer, an e-clip and two standard
washers.
Although our mounts are designed with portability in mind, it is important to use proper
lifting techniques to prevent back injury and/or strained muscles.
TWILIGHT I ASSEMBLY AND USE
To begin assembly, take the tripod out of its box and remove the plastic wrap. Spread
the legs fully apart and make sure the two tension screws on each leg are tight. Once you
have finished assembling the mount, you can adjust the tripod height by loosening these
tension screws, extending each leg equally and retightening the screws.
Installing the Support Shaft
Take the center support shaft, which has a large T-bar on its bottom end, and put the
two standard washers on it, if needed. Slide the stabilizing plate/accessory tray from the
tripod box onto the support shaft with the flat side up. Thread the cup washer into its
position near the top of the support shaft.
From the underside of the top of the tripod, insert the support assembly into the opening
and push the e-clip on from above. The support assembly should now hang freely from
the tripod top.
Bushing supplied is for the
underside of the tripod base
as shown.
E-Clip is placed on the top
of the threaded shaft after
insertion into the tripod head.
