i don;t get it - how does the crank/raiser work? also is it a tripod or just a pole?

The pole is intended to slip into the pole mount, located on a subwoofer. Drop the pole into the pole mount on the sub. Adjust the height of the pole. Tighten the knob, put in the safety pin. Lift speaker and place on top of the pole. Done. There is no crank on this pole.

Its a pole. You can unscrew it to loosen it then extend it and put a peg thru to lock the height in and tighten it.

They mount atop of a subwoofer box and then the upper portion mounts your top speaker. You obviously need a subwoofer (compatible with most brands) otherwise this will not work and you will need a tri-pod mount.

My error. Please forgive my prior response. This tripod is not a fluid drag head.

Dear theresa, Thanks for your contact. Actually, the tripod is just a auxiliary tools and it is not neccessary. And the product doesn't include the tripod. Is that ok for you? If you like it, just place the order, then we will ship it out ASAP. Any questions, please feel free to contact us. Waiting for your good news. Sincerely, Vivian

Yeah, its a standard 3/8" 16 thread count tripod used around the world. Just thread it on.

The tripod has a leveling bubble on the mount head so you can adjust the legs until the camera sits level.

the tripod is the only thing you can use it with because part of the poll is the part attached to the tripod. It is far more stable, even in wind, than I thought it would be. I really like the umbrella. We have grandkids that play travel sports and the fields are often windy and we have never had a problem with them.

It is a plastic locking mechanism. As others have reviewed, the mechanism can easily fail after repeated use. Mine came apart after two uses, but I was able to cobble it back together. It was also delivered with a busted level. I just keep the legs locked into postition and don't use the level. Still a fan of this tripod due to its price and functionality. As far as longevity, I have only had it a few months and it's still holding up well despite the aforementioned problems.

It's a power winch. It's purpose is to wind a cable. Presumably the cable is hooked to a system of pulleys and struts that lift your top. By "no crank system" I imagine you manually lift the top up? If that's the case, it would probably require some engineering to use a power winch.

The tripod is short, but is included. It also has a standard tripod screw mount on the bottom. It will work with most other tripods if you need elevation.

Can't picture what you are doing, it is designed for a standard tripod thread, but is very secure once you have the quick release attached to your car, it will hold your camera very securely regardless of what position it is in. I had the same issue as Ruchy, but was able to put it back together and Have to be careful with the spring

You just pull the end of each leg (or all three together) out to full length, then rotate each a partial turn to latch it. Position the legs as you want, and the tripod is standing. I just timed it; it takes about fifteen seconds, not counting mounting the camera on the tripod, like any other tripod. If you want to use the tripod at less than full height, you have to shorten one leg at a time by holding the penultimate segment, pressing the latch button, and pushing the last segment in, then repeating for each of the additional segments you want to push in, and then for the other legs. I shortened all three legs by three segments; it took about 25 seconds. To break the tripod down, you grab one leg, rotate it a partial turn to release the latch, then push it in. Ten seconds, not counting the time to remove the camera (like any other tripod) and slip it into the carrying bag. This design (there are numerous makers of similar tripods) is not as rigid as many others, but it is very small, light, and fast to work with. Also cheap. And while it is a little bendy, there are no cheesy plastic cam latches to break, as on many other types of portable tripods. The latches are metal springs safely inside the tubular legs. These are not studio tripods, but when you need portability on a budget, they (or similar ones by other makers) are hard to beat.

Not sure exactly what you mean. The tripod is strudy, well built and does not flop down. Good resistance when you rock back or forwardard

I don`t know. The tripod had a leg that wouldn`t extend all the way so I sent the piece of crap back to Amazon and got a refund.

I used duct tape wrapped around the pole to create a tight fit then drilled a hole through the tripod and pole and used a bolt washer and lock washer and nut and it made it very sturdy so it didn't move. Worked for me and was inexpensive.

A decent tripod. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DHPCVQG/ref=pd_aw_sbs_p_12?refRID=1EXH357XBNH8GSMX20SK#

There is no adjustment on the legs. The method of operation is similar to a spring pole on a tent. It only has one hight. This is not a complicated tripod. It is most effective for taking timed selfies with a point and shoot or SLR. Camera should not be too heavy.

It is setup to to mount an optional crank. Mine does not have it installed. However, it did come with the String/handle device. Hope this helps. Sorry for the late response.
