How to fold a tripod?
2 Answers
A tripod has a quick-release buckle. You just need to pull hard on one corner to fold it. The triangular warning sign has two movable sides. Fold the movable legs of the triangular warning sign back. There are a total of 4 supports, with two on each side. One is straight and the other is curved. First retract the straight leg, then the curved one.
After driving for so many years, folding the warning triangle is really simple but requires care. First, check that each of the three legs has a latch or button. You need to gently press them inward simultaneously, and the legs will fold neatly. Avoid using excessive force to prevent plastic parts from cracking or getting stuck—if damaged, it could be troublesome in an emergency. After folding, place it in the dedicated bag or toolbox in the trunk, keeping it clean and separate from other tools to avoid scratches. From my experience, once I rushed to fold it without aligning the legs properly and forced it in, resulting in unstable support the next time I used it, nearly causing it to fall on my foot. When placing it, ensure the correct distance—at least 50 meters away in urban areas and over 150 meters on highways to guarantee safe visibility. Develop the habit of checking its condition after each use to ensure it’s always ready. These details are crucial for road safety.
