To adjust the angle of the legs, you need to pull out the stopper and then push it back in when the leg is at the correct angle. The grips are robust and tyre-like, making them easy to operate even with gloves. This means when setting it up, you can open all the leg locks on one leg at the same time to make things quicker.

The legs feature twist locks with A.R.S, meaning that the legs are non-rotating. It's supplied with smooth rubber feet, but spiked metal ones can be brought separately and fitted if needed.
