The legs on tripod won't stay extended after locking in place. (code 8113) How can I tighten them?

I just got mine out and set up the whole frame and had no problem with the tripod legs staying in place once I spread them out as far as they go and tightened the screw. Perhaps you got bad screws or the wrong screws on yours and you need to call the company.

Did not have that problem. The set was a gift but she says all works fine. Might check to see if you are pushing them down far or hard enough to actually lock. Good luck!

Fernando, there are several approaches. I use a light-weight tripod. In my case the friction of the strap against the irregular sides are sufficient to keep it from slipping. This also works with my monopole. Another approach, especially with a heavier tripod, is to loop two of the legs through the strap leaving the third leg outside the strap to hold it by gravity.

When I bought Dolcia Monopod, I had the same problem while trying to attach it to a table top dolly. I purchased a set of screw adapters from Amazon - problem fixed!http://www.amazon.com/SMALLRIG-Convert-10-pack-Adapter-Tripod/dp/B006R38IJY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1403208472&sr;=1-1&keywords;=screw+adapter

Make sure the correct end of 501PL is facing towards lens. Is there resistance when you rotate locking lever of right side of tripod head. Also visually check lock lever for function when 501PL is not mounted. Describe in detail what you are doing when inserting and locking it. As Bryan stated, we have no idea of your experience nor what you re doing or not doing. Describe steps please. Else go to a camera shop and ask them.

There should be holes to screw the tripod mount on the bottom of the bracket... right next to the knob. Thats where I screwed mine in

No, you can't. Also, the quality of this product is not so good. One of the legs of my tripod has broken in less than a month of light use.

At risk of being of no help... make sure the thumb screws are loose on both.To avoid pinching I extend and retract the legs by gripping the collar or slider (what ever the thing is called that holds all the legs and slides up and down the center pole)

Try tying a nylon string through the straps's rectangular ring and attach it through the camera's shouler strap ring for extra insurance in case the tripod fastener loosens by accident.

Contact the maker "J. B. Camera designs" he has some 'beta' screws that will solve your problem. I contacted him, he asked for my mailing address and sent me two replacement screws. Works great on a tripod now. Hamish

Yeah, the legs are kind of cheap. We use the tripod each week to film our church sermons, and I don't know if we didn't take good care when setting up and putting away our equipment, but the legs were slipping and not sturdy. I don't know if we can get a refund or replacement.

mine was as stiff as a rock and I still haven't been able to loosen it up. You can replace the handle/base/knobs as I used parts from another tripod for preference, but idk if the manufac. offers them.

Not sure what you mean.The only three screw configuration I see on the tripod are the leg screws.If one of these is lost it looks like to me ant quarter inch short bolt and nut would do the job?

i actually have to use two tripods.... one on each end (luckily i already have two) because if i use it in the middle...the balance can't hold the weight of my canon t2i

I use a Manfroto tripod. Make sure that you're using two screw points to eliminate rotation. In a best case scenario you would use a tripod on each side of the slider so it is being held up at the ends rather than the center.

Take the complete unit to your local hardware store and they will have the correct screw size for the unit, This would be the easiest way to solve the problem. Good luck with this unit. It works very well on my cameras as it will on yours.

Try using Velcro. That might work unless you can put a tripod mount where you can screw the base.

When you want to extend the legs for example, you will have to loosen each "clamp". There is no type of segment that will loosen them all. This is not as hard as it sounds. I would definitely recommend this product for a easy tripod you can carry and travel easy with. I have had this tripod for probably 6+ months and I am absolutely happy with it. Hope this answerd your question.
