Fixing Prism Rod Bipod Legs

Basic rundown of the wedge anchor and spring used to operate the bipod for total stations.

Very clear instructions good humor

your explaination of "seating the button" i find very important failure to do so may cause pinching users hand.

Helpful video but I have a question. I just bought a used bi-pod for my prism pole and the legs don't "spring" out when I push the top buttons. I had a cheap bi-pod and got a used "good one" on ebay only to get it and find the legs don't extend out out properly which makes it impossible to level. I will take it apart and evaluate but wanted to see if you had some insight.

I think adjusting those wedges is all you need to do. I've really only used the bipod by hilti, but they are so similar to other bipods I see out there. How did it go fixing those "wedge anchors" in the legs?
