Attaching a Fluid Head

The ALTA PRO 2V 263AT tripod is designed to be used with a separate fluid head (not included). It features a standard 3/8”-16 attachment bolt on the leveling ball for compatibility with most video or pan heads.

1. Align the base of your fluid head with the 3/8”-16 attachment bolt on the tripod's leveling ball.
2. Thread the fluid head onto the bolt by turning it clockwise until it is hand-tight.
3. Locate the three set screws positioned around the leveling ball. Use an appropriate tool (if provided or required by your head) to tighten these set screws firmly. This action secures the fluid head to the tripod, preventing rotation and ensuring stability during use.

Tripod Not Leveling Properly

• Ensure the leveling ball lock is sufficiently loosened before attempting to level the head.
• After adjusting the head to a level position (indicated by the bubble levels), firmly tighten the leveling ball lock.
• Verify that all leg sections are fully extended and securely locked.

Leg Sections Not Locking

• Ensure that the ¼ turn twist locks are fully engaged by twisting them clockwise until snug.
• If a leg section slides after locking, the lock may not be fully tightened. Apply a bit more force to secure it.
