Troubleshooting
Cage does not align with camera eyelets
Ensure the camera is correctly positioned within the cage and that the pivoting Bottom Plate is fully swung back into place. Double-check that no accessories are obstructing the alignment.
Difficulty tightening or loosening bolts
Use the included built-in tools for assembly. Ensure the tool is properly seated in the bolt head. If bolts feel stuck, check for debris and do not force them.
Accessory mounts feel loose
Confirm that ARRI style anti-twist mounts are fully engaged and that any accessories attached to rosettes are tightened securely. Ensure the accessory itself has the corresponding mounting mechanism.
