I ordered a student machine from stenoworks and I’m pretty sure something is wrong with the tripod. This is my first steno machine so I’m not very familiar with how the tripod works but all of the photos of steno tripods I’ve been able to find online seem to have a latch on top that mine looks like it’s missing. The first photo is the tripod I was sent, the second is a picture of one I found online with a different latch on top (that looks the same as other pictures of tripods I’ve seen) and the third is a photo of the bottom of my machine. Anyone else’s tripod look like mine and any idea how I’d attach that to my machine??
