How to tell whether your tripod is "Narrow-legged" or "Wide-legged"
for compatability with the Taylor Seamount Tripod Shelf
Method 1: Calipers
|
If you can use calipers, they will offer the simplest method. If your tripod has round legs, measure the diameter. If your tripod has flat sides, measure the width of the widest side.
If the measurement is 22mm (0.87 inch) or greater, choose "Wide-legged". If the measurement is less than 22 mm (0.87 inch), choose "Narrow-legged". If you don't have calipers handy, don't worry, choose from one of the methods below.

Method 2: Printer
Print the PDF below and follow instructions. Make sure to print with the setting "Fit to Paper" or "Actual Size"
Method 3: Ruler
Follow the instructions below to use a paper, ruler, and scissors to measure your tripod legs.
|
1. Draw a long rectangle at the edge of the paper with the short side measuring precisely 22 mm or 7/8 in.
|
2. Cut out the rectangle, creating a notch.
|
3. Fit a leg of the tripod into the notch. If the leg has flat sides allign the notch with the widest side.
If the leg is narrower than the notch, choose:
"Narrow-legged" |
If the leg is wider than the notch or just barely fits, choose:
"Wide-legged" |
