How to Set Up the TourBuilder Go Kit

Step-by-step instructions on how to properly set up your TourBuilder Go Kit

Step 1: Assemble the Tripod

Take off the tripod base cap. Screw the tripod legs into the rubber base of the tripod. Move the toggle over on the base of the tripod to the flat position. Press the button on each leg to extend outwards. 

You have two options for the tripod setup:

  1. Fully extend all 3 columns of the tripod.
  2. If you are using the battery power bank, you only need to extend the bottom two columns.

Step 2: Attach the Phone Mount

Attach the phone mount to the tripod and secure it in place. The phone Mount should be placed right below the top latch of the tripod.

Step 3: Attach the Battery Power bank

If you intend to use the power bank, attach it to the top of the tripod and then connect the small extender metal rod that is in the accessory box.

Step 4: Attach the 360-degree Camera to the Top

Screw the Ricoh Theta camera to the top of the metal extender on top of the Battery Power Bank, if using the power bank. If you are not using the power bank, then attach the Ricoh Theta camera to the top of the tripod with all 3 columns extended.
