Safety Instructions

Follow these safety instructions carefully to prevent injury and protect your Veo Cam and tripod during use.

  1. Please note that the carbon fiber tripod is only intended for use with the Veo Cam.
  2. Please ensure that the tripod is level and secured to the ground before mounting the Veo Cam.
  3. Please raise or lower the center column slowly when you adjust the tripod height to avoid your hand being pinched between the locks.
  4. Please pay attention to your fingers when you open the base to prevent them from being trapped.
  5. Please don't move the tripod when the Veo Cam is mounted and the center column is raised.
  6. During use, please always ensure that all knobs and handles are locked tightly.
  7. In an outdoor windy environment, please make sure to install the wind bracing system and sandbags for the safe operation of the tripod. 
    Warning: Failure to do so may result in the tripod tipping, with the potential risk of personal injury and damage to the tripod and Veo Cam.
