FAQ

• Q: Is a DJI RS plate included?
  A: No. The box includes 1 Manfrotto-style plate. For DJI RS mode, use the plate that came with your DJI RS 2 / RS 3 / RS 3 Pro gimbal — keep the camera on that plate and move it from gimbal to tripod directly.
• Q: What is the load capacity, and which figure should I go by?
  A: The tripod supports 8 kg but the fluid head supports 6 kg. Use 6 kg as the limit for the combined weight of camera, lens and accessories on the head.
• Q: Can it be used for still photography?
  A: Yes. Although designed for video, pan and tilt can be locked, so it works normally for stills.
• Q: Does it need assembly?
  A: No. The legs and head come assembled and ready to use; just attach the plate to your camera and start shooting.
• Q: What is the BumbleBee Edition?
