Troubleshooting
Accessory feels loose on the arm mount
Ensure the 1/4"-20 screw is fully tightened or the GoPro pin joint is securely locked into its mount.
Arms do not hold position
Tighten the ball and socket joints firmly. For very heavy accessories, consider a different mounting solution as this kit is designed for lighter gear.
GoPro mount is difficult to attach
Ensure the accessory's GoPro mount is clean and free of debris. Align the pin joint carefully before applying pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Attach the flexible arms to your JOBY GorillaPod Mobile Rig or any mount with a 1/4"-20 screw thread. Connect your accessories (lights, mics, cameras with GoPro mount) to the respective mounting points on the end of each arm. Ensure all connections are snug.
Compatibility: The kit includes two 1/4"-20 mounting points and one GoPro-style pin joint. It is designed to work with accessories that utilize these standard mounts. It is ideal for use with the JOBY GorillaPod Mobile Rig but can be attached to any stable base with a 1/4"-20 socket.
Care: Clean the arms and mounts with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure rubberized grips are kept free of excessive dust or debris. Store in a cool, dry place.
