Troubleshooting

Accessory feels loose on the mount

Ensure the accessory's cold shoe is fully seated and the safety release button is engaged. If the accessory has its own locking mechanism, ensure it is tightened.

Mount won't screw into rig

Verify that your rig has a 1/4"-20 female thread and that there are no obstructions in the thread. Ensure you are using the correct mounting screw (captive screw or female thread) for the intended connection.

Accessory detachment issue

Double-check that the safety release button is properly engaged after mounting the accessory. Ensure the accessory's cold shoe is fully inserted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To attach an accessory with a cold shoe mount, slide it onto the SmallRig 2797 and secure it using the safety release button. To attach the SmallRig 2797 to your rig, use the 1/4"-20 captive screw and tighten it with the included Allen wrench. To attach the mount to another piece of equipment (like a magic arm), screw it into the integrated 1/4"-20 female thread.

Compatibility: This mount is compatible with any cages, ball heads, or rigs that feature a standard 1/4"-20 female thread for attachment. Accessories with a standard cold shoe base can be mounted onto this adapter. It is important to note that this cold shoe mount does not have electronic contacts and is therefore not suitable for camera flashes that require electronic communication with the camera.

Care: Clean the mount with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as this can damage the anodized finish. Ensure the threads are kept free of debris.
