8.7. Taking Pictures with the MegaMast

Setting Up The MegaMast

• You will want to use the same Selfie Stick Setup on the MegaMast as we have suggested for normal tripod use. This separates the camera from the large MegaMast tripod head for best visibility.
  
  

• Be sure the camera is firmly attached to the selfie stick and the selfie stick is locked into the MegaMast tripod head. You really don't want your camera falling from a height of over 30 feet.
• Connect to the camera's WifI prior to raising the tripod to its highest level to make sure you have a stable connection.
  
  
  

Taking Photos

1. 1. While the MegaMast is very sturdy, there will be some sway in the mast of the tripod, even with a camera as light as the MadVenture 360. 
      
      
      
      
   2. Wait a few seconds for the mast of the tripod to stop swaying before capturing the images. 
   3. At full height, if you stand right next to the tripod, directly under the camera, you will be mostly hidden in the image. 
      
      

Moving the MegaMast

1. 1. While you will be tempted to leave the mast extended to move the tripod, it goes up and down easily and you will be best served to take it down to move it to the new location.
      
   2. Be aware, the mast can drop quickly if you release the tension quickly. Watch your fingers. 

NOTE: PLEASE BE EXTRA CAREFUL AND LOOK OUT FOR OVERHEAD WIRES OR ANY DANGEROUS OR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IN THE WAY.
