What is the Monkey Tail Mount made of?

What is the maximum length of the Monkey Tail Mount?
The mount has a width of 500 mm (approximately 19.7 inches).
Can this mount be used with non-Insta360 cameras?
While the 1/4" connector is a standard size, the invisible selfie stick feature and optimal compatibility are designed for Insta360 cameras.
How much does the Monkey Tail Mount weigh?

Can I use this mount in wet conditions?
The materials used are generally resistant to water, but it is recommended to dry the mount and camera after exposure to moisture.
How should I store the mount?
It can be bent and folded for storage. Keep it in a dry place away from extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Camera feels unstable on the mount.
Ensure the Monkey Tail Mount is securely wrapped around the object and the non-slip grip is making full contact. Check that the camera is firmly attached to the 1/4" connector.
Invisible selfie stick effect is not working.
Confirm you are using a compatible Insta360 camera and that the camera's software is up-to-date. Ensure the mount is positioned directly behind or in front of the camera lens for optimal invisibility.
Mount is difficult to bend or shape.
The mount is designed for strength. Apply steady pressure to shape it. If it feels excessively stiff, ensure it's not being bent at extreme angles repeatedly, which could stress the internal alloy.
