FAQs
What is ARCA compatibility?
ARCA compatibility refers to a standard quick-release system used primarily in photography and videography. It allows for quick and secure mounting and dismounting of cameras and accessories onto tripods and other support systems.
Can I use any USB-C charger with the hub?
You should use a USB-C charger that supports USB Power Delivery (PD) and provides adequate wattage for both the hub and your phone. Check your phone's charging requirements and the charger's specifications for best results.
What types of accessories can I attach?
The open rail system and multiple mounting points allow for a wide range of accessories, including external microphones, LED lights, handles, articulating arms, and more, provided they use standard mounting solutions like 1/4"-20 threads or cold shoe mounts.
Does the USB-C hub support data transfer?
Yes, the integrated USB-C hub typically supports data transfer, allowing you to connect external storage devices or other USB peripherals to your smartphone, in addition to providing power.
How do I clean the Moment SuperCage?
Clean the cage using a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
Is the cage compatible with phones that have large cases?
The cage has adjustable grips, but very thick or bulky phone cases might affect the fit. It's recommended to test with your specific phone and case combination if possible, or check the cage's maximum phone dimensions.
Troubleshooting
Phone not charging via USB-C hub
Verify that the power source is connected correctly to the hub's input and that the power source provides sufficient wattage. Ensure your phone supports USB Power Delivery. Check the USB-C cable for damage.
Accessories not mounting securely
Ensure that all mounting screws on accessories are tightened appropriately. Check that the accessory's mounting mechanism is compatible with the cage's rail system or 1/4"-20 threads.
ARCA plate not locking
Confirm that the tripod head's quick-release mechanism is fully open before inserting the ARCA plate. Ensure the plate is seated correctly and then engage the locking mechanism firmly. Check the ARCA plate and tripod head for any obstructions.
Cage feels loose on the phone
Adjust the phone grips to ensure a snug fit. Some cages have adjustable tension screws; check if yours does and tighten them slightly.
