If you want your tripod to be stable, you will have to open it properly. Take the direction of the balance into account. You make adjustments to the height by using the joint part.
	You fix the angle and the length of the arm by 2 scerews.
	This part is where you decide the angle of the cymbal. There is a screw for fixing the cymbal on the tip. Tightening this screw too much will restrain the free movement of the cymbal and hold down sustain.
	You will be able to connect more than one arm by using this adapter.
	You can set up more than one cymbal with just one stand. But you have to be careful of the balance and the direction of the arms.
