Troubleshooting
Battery does not lock into the V-mount plate.
Check that there is no debris in the V-mount interface and ensure the battery is aligned correctly before sliding it in until you hear a click.
Clamp slips on the mounting surface.
Clean the rubber pads with a damp cloth to remove dust or residue and ensure the knob is tightened firmly against the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply rotate the clamp adjustment knob to open the jaw to the desired width, place it around your support structure (like a tripod leg or hand-held ring), and tighten until the clamp is secure. Ensure the V-mount battery is clicked firmly into the plate to hear a tactile engagement before moving the rig. To care for the clamp, wipe it with a dry, lint-free cloth after use. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the rubber pads to maintain their grip, and store in a cool, dry place when not in use. While the unit is durable, ensure the 1.5kg limit is respected to prevent structural stress.
