3. Important safety notes
When position and elevating the stand it MUST at the same time be secured in such a way that it will not introduce any risk of falling with the camera mounted. Do not use the Spiideo Portable Smartcam in any situations where a safe mounting of the stand can not be guaranteed (for example in heavy winds, or there is a risk it will be hit by objects)
There are several standard options for help securing stands/tripod, including but not limited to weights (sandbags) and poles securing each respective stand/tripod leg. See the example picture below.
