Troubleshooting

Adapter feels loose in the stand receiver.

Ensure the receiver on your stand is a true 16mm (5/8 inch) and not slightly larger. Check for any debris in the receiver or on the adapter's female end that might be preventing a full seat.

Equipment does not attach securely to the adapter's male stud.

Verify that your equipment requires a 17.5mm male stud. Some equipment may have slightly different dimensions, or the equipment's receiver might be damaged.

Adapter shows signs of wear or damage.

Inspect the adapter for any cracks or significant bends. While durable, extreme force or impacts can cause damage. Replace if compromised to ensure safety.
