Troubleshooting
Reflector not holding securely
Ensure the reflector frame is properly seated within the clamp and that the clamp is tightened firmly. Check for any obstructions in the clamp mechanism.
Bracket slipping on the stand
Verify that the spigot attachment is fully inserted into the stand's receiver and that the stand itself is stable and not overloaded.
Extension arms are stiff or difficult to adjust
Gently clean the extension tubes with a dry cloth to remove any dust or grit. Do not force the adjustment; if stiffness persists, inspect for damage.
