Set Up your Spotting Scope 
 
Remove the lens cap covering the Maksutov Correcting Lens by gently pulling it forward.  Then remove the zoom eyepiece cover by 
turning it counterclockwise. 
 
Setting Up the Table Tripod 
 
Your spotting scope comes with a table tripod to support it for more stability when viewing.  To set up the tripod: 

•  Spread each of the three tripod legs outward until they come to a stop. 
•  Make sure the tripod mounting platform is level by loosening the altitude locking knob and moving the platform to a level 

position.  Then, tighten the knob securely. 

•  Place the bottom of the spotting scope on top of the mounting platform where the tripod mounting screw will thread into the 

1/4x20 hole in the plate on the bottom of the spotter.  Secure the spotting scope by tightening the screw firmly. 

•  You can adjust the central column of the tripod to the height you desire by loosening the central column tightening ring (turn 

it counterclockwise) with one hand and holding the spotting scope in the other hand.  After raising or lowering the central 
column to where you want it, then tighten firmly the central column tightening ring.  

•  You have two slow motion controls – one for vertical (up/down) and one for horizontal (left/right) movements.  The slow 

motion controls can be helpful to center objects especially at high magnification.
