Unlock the crossbar adjustment mechanism. Ensure no debris is obstructing the telescopic parts. Apply gentle, even pressure.
Camera thread feels loose
Verify you are using the correct adapter if needed for your specific camera mount. The 1/4 inch thread is standard, but some mounts may require a specific fitting.
