6. Údržba a péče

• Čištění: After use, especially in dusty, sandy, or wet environments, wipe down the tripod with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure all leg sections and locking mechanisms are free of debris.
• Sušení: If the tripod gets wet, extend all leg sections and allow them to air dry completely before collapsing and storing to prevent corrosion.
• Mazání: Periodically check the movement of the leg locks and ball head. If they become stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
• Skladování: Stativ skladujte v přepravní brašně na chladném a suchém místě mimo dosah přímého slunečního záření a extrémních teplot.
• Vyhněte se nadměrnému utahování: Do not overtighten knobs or locks, as this can cause damage to the components.
