Loosen the clamp adjustment screws to widen the aperture, insert the cable, and tighten until the clamp secures the jacket of the cable without crushing the connector.
To install, align the camera body with the cage and secure it using the bottom mounting screw, ensuring it is tightened with the provided tool to prevent rotation. Attach the cable clamp using the side mounting points, adjusting it to snugly fit your specific HDMI and USB-C cables. The HawkLock handle should be slid into the top rail until it clicks, verifying the safety lock is engaged. For care, wipe the aluminum alloy with a dry cloth periodically. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners. Periodically check that all 1/4-20 mounting screws are tight, especially after heavy gimbal use.
