- Hi, I'm Jordan from Kettner Creative.
In this video I wanna show you how
to set up a tripod screen for your event.
Commonly, these are six or eight foot wide screens,
they pack down small like this,
so I'm gonna show you how to set it up.
Kettner Creative is a audiovisual company based out
of Vancouver, BC, we have tons of these in rent.

So when you grab the screen from us,
it will look like this.
If you can see right there, this tooth is locked
in the top, and that keeps everything together.
So the first thing that you wanna do,
is right here there's a black knob,
you pull that out and lift the top out.
So you can see right here,
that's the hole that the tooth was in, okay?
And then you pull it, kind of like it's gonna
be when it's set up as a screen.
Next you wanna get the feet out.
Now the feet, there's three feet,
they're all locked together at the bottom.
So I'm gonna show you this.
If you see right to the bottom here,
there's a kick tab, you need to kick that down
with your foot when you're setting it up.
So you put it on the floor,
I grab my foot, I kick that little tab
and then the feet come out.
You put the feet down and then you grab
the screen and you pull up.
Now, on the back of the screen here,
there's this knob again,
the same one we were using before.
So you pull that out and you lift the screen up.
Okay?
Now you can set your bottom height.
The bottom height will be fine by default,
I don't recommend changing this,
we don't recommend bottoming it out.
We recommend keeping it 3 1/2 feet off the ground,
which is the default setting that it's at here.
If you do wanna change it,
there's two things to do,
there's a little lock, right here.
So you flip that up and then you pull
the black knob out, and you can go up
or down depending how you wanna set it.
So I'm gonna put it back in its default position.
We flip this around.
And that's the screen.
Depending on who you're renting from,
we always ship this black skirt that comes with it,
the Velcro skirt.
As you can see here, this is just carpeted,
so you just put this across it.
And it gives it a more clean, professional look,
especially if it's a corporate event of some type,
it hides the legs.
And the dirty little secret in everything events
is now you got storage space for your event.
So we always put our cases and all
that behind the screen, because now you can't see it.
To tear this screen down,
it's the exact same thing, but reverse.
I'll walk through that with you now.
So you take off the skirting.
What I like to do is I like to walk it back and forth
as I pull the skirt off, and then we roll it up.
Keeps everything fairly wrinkle free.
It's not perfect.
Okay?
And then I'll turn this around so you can see it.
So, if this was down, I would start with this.
So you pull the black knob out,
bring it up to the bottom hole here,
that's its default position.
There's that lock, we put the lock on.
We pull out the black knob here,
and we lower the top of the screen.
Once the screen is fully lowered,
then we lift the screen off the hook here,
we bring it back down.
Now, if you're standing behind the screen,
rotate it clockwise.
What you're gonna see is, right down here,
there's a little ball that hooks in this hook here,
and that keeps it locked.
And then, so the feet are still down,
now we raise the top and we get that tooth back inside
that hole that it started at.
So now the screen and the upright are locked together.
Then we pull up the feet, we hear it click,
and now it's good.
So the top is hooked in.
And the bottom feet are all clipped together.
So now you can take it, you don't have
to worry about it unfolding or unraveling.
The other little thing that you wanna look for,
is right here, is that ball that needs
to get locked in here.
This isn't critical, but that does keep
the screen locked into the roll,
so just keep that in mind.
Hopefully this helps, that's how you set up
and tear down a six-foot tripod screen
for your upcoming event.
