GETTING STARTED
1 Attach Tripod Plate
2 Mount Camera
Hold Astro upside down and attach a tripod plate. Tighten until
plate is firmly in place.
Screw Astro directly to your camera or to a ballhead.
Do not attach Astro directly to your tripod. Always use a tripod plate and
always attach/detach by using a screwdriver or coin. Twisting or forcing
Astro's bottom plate will cause permanent damage to internal components.

Using a ballhead offers more flexibility when composing shots and aligning the
camera. Attaching a ballhead might require a 1/4 to 3/8 thread adapter.
