The tripod Report 142 is equipped with the module insert 4, i.e. with a centre column which has a length of 50 cm and a diameter of 25 mm, made of precision-drawn light-metal tubing, and a levelling ball. The centre column is additionally equipped with a rotating panorama plate. By means of the centre column, the levelling ball can be tilted by 30° in all directions. The support plate made of aluminium has a diameter of 68 mm and is equipped with a fixed fastening screw (size to be selected) as well as three locking screws which secure the mounted system against unintentional loosening. The spirit level ensures a quick and precise adjustment. When using an extra-short centre column (10 cm), it is possible to work near ground level. Single tripod leg extension. The specified maximum height applies if the centre column with a length of 50 cm is extended. The light magnesium mounting head serves as module basis for 10 different inserts. The module insert can be changed at all times using a special wrench (included in the delivery of the changing module). The fixation in the cone ensures a positive-locking, clearance-free connection of the components. Thanks to the stop system, it is possible to set angles of spread at approx. 20°, 40°, 60°, 80° and 100° by means of a wing catch. The stop system is designed in such a way that the specified loads of the tripods are also guaranteed at a maximum inclination of the tripod legs.
