How do I screw the camera onto the tripod? I don't see the threads.

What should my tripod look like when open?

The center pole needs to be at a right angle to the cross pieces for maximum stability. Make sure you are using your sandbags or other weights as well.

Where should I set up my tripod?

Set up the Tripod at mid field, 4-5 steps from the midfield line. Secure the tripod with all three sandbags. Each sandbag holds ~10lbs of sand.
