The DSR 250 Tripods

WE have two different styles of tripods for the DSR 250. In each of the styles over time the knobs that hold the legs tighten lossen. With the early tripods you have to replace the lever mechanism. With the second it takes an allen wrench to tighten the screw. Tighting of the first four tripods is a little tricky, since the lever on the back can move.

We have had problems with the tripods slipping and the camera falling to the floor. This is costly for the member and us. Ed Sanders walks us through the two different tirpods, safety features and how you can make sure you don't have a tripod slip and break a camera.
