Ensure the ergonomic twist knobs are fully tightened. Check for any debris obstructing the leg locks and clean if necessary. Confirm the load capacity is not exceeded.
Leveling base is stiff or difficult to adjust.
Gently rotate the leveling base back and forth to loosen it. Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing its movement. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Camera is not securely mounted.
Verify that the camera's mounting plate is properly secured to the tripod head. Ensure the tripod head's quick-release plate screw is fully tightened into the camera's tripod mount.
