Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose after mounting.
Ensure the 1/4"-20 screw connecting the handle adapter to your rig is fully tightened. Also, check that the handle is securely locked onto its adapter.
Accessory doesn't fit the 1/4"-20 threaded hole.
Confirm the accessory has a 1/4"-20 male thread. If the spacing between the two holes (18mm) is an issue, consider using a single hole or an adapter plate.
Difficulty adjusting the grip position.
Ensure the main adjustment screw is sufficiently loosened before attempting to slide the handle. Clean any debris from the adjustment track.
Handle wobbles during shooting.
Verify the handle is properly seated on its adapter and that the adapter is securely fastened to your camera rig. Ensure the total weight does not exceed the 5kg capacity.
