Troubleshooting
Adapter feels loose on the light stand.
Ensure the light stand receiver is clean and free of debris. Make sure the locking screw on the light stand (if applicable) is fully tightened onto the adapter's mount.
Monolight is not securely attached to the adapter.
Verify that the monolight is fully seated in the adapter's mount and that the locking mechanism (screw or lever) is completely engaged and tightened.
Umbrella holder is wobbly.
Check the set screw for the umbrella holder and tighten it securely around the umbrella shaft. Ensure the holder itself is firmly attached to the adapter body.
Tilt mechanism is stiff or difficult to adjust.
Gently try to work the tilt mechanism back and forth. Ensure no external obstructions are present. If stiffness persists, consult the Profoto support or manual.
