Troubleshooting
Stand feels unstable
Ensure all leg sections are fully extended and locked. Utilize the metal spikes on uneven surfaces or the rubber feet on smooth surfaces. Distribute weight evenly on the legs if possible, or consider adding a counterweight if the payload is near its maximum limit.
Boom arm is difficult to attach/detach
Ensure the center column is clean and free of debris. Align the connection points carefully and twist firmly until it locks. Check the locking mechanism for any obstructions.
Legs do not lock securely
Inspect the locking mechanisms for dirt or damage. Clean them thoroughly. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unfold the reverse-folding legs until they lock into place. Extend the telescopic leg sections to the desired height, ensuring each section is securely locked. For boom arm functionality, detach the center column and attach it to the leg base using the appropriate mounting screw. Ensure all connections are snug before mounting equipment.
Compatibility: The Luna features standard mounting threads (typically 3/8" and 1/4" with an adapter) compatible with most lighting heads, camera mounts, microphones with shock mounts, and smartphone clamps. It is designed to support lights, microphones, smartphones, and 360° cameras within its 5kg payload limit.
Care: Clean the carbon fibre and magnesium alloy components with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Store the stand in a dry place when not in use. Periodically check all locking mechanisms and joints for wear and tear. Keep the metal spikes clean and free of debris to ensure optimal grip.
