Troubleshooting

Camera feels shaky when tilted

Ensure the Arca-Swiss plate is locked securely into the base and that the center of gravity of your camera is balanced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the head, screw it onto any tripod with a standard 3/8-inch or 1/4-inch screw mount. Attach your camera using the included Arca-Swiss compatible plate, ensuring it is tightened securely before operation. You can configure the telescopic handle to the left or right side depending on your dominant hand or specific mounting space. For care, wipe the aluminum body with a dry, lint-free cloth after use. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the silicone or POM components. Regularly check the tension knobs to ensure they are clean of dust and debris, which keeps the fluid rotation smooth over time.
