Is this pack compatible with all camera lenses?

How should I clean the mirror inserts?

Troubleshooting

Ensure the insert does not exceed the 6mm thickness limit. Try adjusting the clamp's grip or using a different clamp if available.

Clamp does not fit securely on the lens.

The OMNI system is designed for broad compatibility, but ensure you are using the correct mounting method for your lens. For persistent issues, consider lens-specific adapters if available for the OMNI system.

Unwanted reflections or glare appearing in the image.

Adjust the angle and position of the reflective insert. Experiment with different inserts or try using a lens hood to block stray light.
