TRIPOD INSTALLATION:

The clock is versatile: it can be hand-held, stationed on a speaker's podium, or mounted on a tripod. Each clock has a standard tripod attachment (threaded socket) on its underside to turn it into a hands free, free-standing installation. Tripod mounting is great for public gatherings, stages, or talks. A standard camera tripod should work fine. A small table-top tripod is included.
