Basic Adjustments

Adjusting the Pan Head

The Pro GT features a 3-way pan head that allows you to quickly follow the action and easily adjust your viewing angle. For camera use, this head allows you to choose between horizontal and vertical plate alignments.

Pan and Tilt Action

You can control all of the pan and tilt action with just one hand. To make any horizontal or vertical adjustments, twist the handle counter-clockwise to free the pan head’s movement. When in desired position, twist handle clockwise to lock.

Attaching Optics to the Tripod

  1. Flip the plate lever lock outward to the free position and remove the quick-release plate.
  2. Attach the plate to your optic or camera. Be sure to tighten the tripod mount bolt from the bottom side of the plate and flip the D ring so it lies flat.
  3. Place the quick-release plate back into the plate holder. Flip the plate lever fully back to the lock position so the quick-release plate rests securely in the holder.

Adjusting the Tripod Legs

Center Column

Loosen the center column height adjustment knob to change the relative height of the tripod head. To help stabilize the tripod in windy conditions, hang a weight from the balance hook.

Leg Length

Each tripod leg extends to a maximum of three sections. To adjust the length of a leg section, flip the leg lever up to unlock. Slide the leg section out to the desired length and flip the leg lever back down to lock in place.

    This is definitely a heavy duty piece of gear. The craftsmanship and quality are superb. It has robust and rounded feet which I believe will hold up against many years of gravel and grit. The knob for the neck has a very firm and smooth action when raising and lowering the optic. Pitching and panning are hit butter smooth... im currently running the largest set of binos Vortex makes, the Vulture HDs and this tripod handles them and my full size spotting scope with ease. The travel case seems pretty durable as well. Definitely worth the purchase, and with Vortexs warranty its near impossible to beat. Also, im 6’5” and this tripod easily allows the optics to be at a comfortable height to stand upright and view whichever way you choose with room to spare
