Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, select the appropriate mounting thread (1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16) to attach the clamp to your desired support system. Use the included hex spanners to ensure the mounting screws are tightened firmly.

Compatibility Note: This unit is specifically compatible with Arca-type plates. When using for the first time, place your plate in the clamp and test the tension of the locking lever. If the lever does not click firmly into the locked position, or if the plate slides, adjust the tightness screw on the lever arm until the fit is snug.

Care Instructions: Keep the internal track of the clamp free from debris or grit to ensure smooth lever operation. Clean periodically with a dry microfiber cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the aluminum surface.
