Using the tripod for our swede (planning)

My goal as being the cinematographer was to learn the basics of using a tripod, that I received with the help of my teacher. The tripod comes in a black bag, with it in another bag, it comes with a phone holder which is needed for the tripod.


Looking at the tripod, I can tell that its not full size yet. So I extended it by pulling the clips down in the legs, this unlocked the leg which would extend, you could customize the height of the tripod. 


Having the tripod at its full height on all three legs, what was next? In order to put our phone in the tripod, I needed to discover how to change the height of the initial place where the phone is going. With the twist of a tool, it could go up or down based on where you want it to be. 


Next, I needed the phone holder on the tripod, so I put in my phone into the holder to then see there is a way of connecting the holder to the tripod. I connected them to later spin a cog that would make it tight.


Now the full setup of the tripod was done, the difference between holding a camera and it being on a tripod is a huge difference. I learned how to manage this tripod in order to use it for our swede.
