Troubleshooting

Turntable is not rotating smoothly.

Ensure the turntable surface is clean and free of debris. Check that the product placed on it is centered and not exceeding the weight limit. Verify that the tripod or mounting surface is stable.

Noise during rotation.

While designed for quiet operation, minor noise can occur with heavy loads or if debris is present. Ensure the product is balanced and the turntable is clean. If noise persists, contact customer support.

Telescopic arm is stuck.

Gently try to adjust the arm, ensuring no cables or obstructions are interfering. If it remains stuck, do not force it; inspect the locking mechanism for damage or debris.
