Troubleshooting
Smartphone feels loose in the clamp.
Ensure the clamp is fully opened before inserting the phone and that it has sprung back completely to grip the device. Check that the phone's dimensions are within the holder's capacity.
Holder won't attach securely to camera.
Verify that you are using the correct mounting point (cold shoe or 1/4"-20 thread). If using the cold shoe, ensure it is fully slid into place and tightened if your camera has a locking screw.
Difficulty rotating or tilting the holder.
Ensure no cables or accessories are obstructing the movement. Check that the locking mechanisms for tilt and rotation are slightly loosened if they feel too tight; avoid forcing them.
Accessories (mic, light) don't fit the cold shoe.
Confirm the accessories use standard cold shoe mounts. The holder's cold shoes are designed for standard accessories; ensure nothing is blocking the shoe slot on the accessory itself.
