What you need to set up your tripod:
Your tripod (preferably Manfrotto 269BU) or similar height tripod that you own
Your tripod mount (preferably Manfrotto 234RC Monopod Head Quick Release Plate)
Your Reeplayer camera
At least one sand bag
Step 1: When you receive your tripod package, locate the bolt at the bottom. You'll need to unscrew it. While a screwdriver works best, don't worry if you've left it behind—something as simple as the end of a pair of scissors/key will do the job too.
Step 2: Watch our extensive how-to set up your tripod video.

Additional tips and tricks
Mount Angle Adjustment
Tilt your mount down by about 22 degrees using the LED side lights and in-app guidance. When you press “Set up camera,” the LED side lights will turn into a leveler and the current camera angle will display on the How to set up screen. Watch this video to see how it works.
Next time you’re at the field, just attach the camera—already fitted with the plate—directly to the tripod mount. You’ll hear a click when it’s secure. Before raising the tripod, double-check that both the grey and golden levers are locked in place.
Sun Behind You
Place the tripod next to the midfield line 10-15 feet way. You want to preferably keep the sun behind you.
