I this right now I'm just going over the usage manual and videos as I become more acquainted I'll talk more about our C8 in particular 

Setting up the tripod

stand the Tripod upright and pull the tripod legs apart until the support arms for the accessory tray has been fully extends

if unstable tighten the bolts that hold up the legs to the tripod (with Allen wrench)

adjust the height of the tripod by loosening the two wing nuts on the lower portion of each tripod leg, then slide the center slat of the tripod leg away from the tripod head when at desired height re-tighten the wing-nuts.

Attach accessory tray

the wing nuts that attach the tray to the bracket are taped on top of the tray, with the tray facing up position the screws on the slotted holes on the bottom of the bracket
