FAQs
Is the riser block compatible with Arca-Swiss plates?
Yes, it is designed to be compatible with most standard tripod mounting systems including Arca-Swiss, provided the thread matches.
Can I stack multiple riser blocks?
Yes, the XPAND system is specifically designed to allow for stacking multiple units to gain additional height as needed.
Does it include mounting screws?
The riser is designed with standard 1/4-20 interfaces which are compatible with standard camera mounting screws.
What material is it made of?
The riser block is constructed from high-grade, lightweight magnesium alloy for maximum durability.
Will it block my battery door?
While the 25mm height helps clear side ports, you should check your specific camera model's battery door placement to ensure it doesn't overlap with the footprint of the riser.
Troubleshooting
Mounting plate feels loose
Ensure the 1/4-20 attachment screw is fully tightened and that the riser is flush against both the camera and the tripod head.
Difficulty accessing QD socket
Verify that no other cables or accessories are obstructing the socket entry point on the side of the riser.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply mount the riser block between your camera base and your tripod head using the standard 1/4-20 screw interface. When utilizing the XPAND connection system, align the tabs and lock them securely using the provided tensioning methods. Ensure all connections are hand-tightened before mounting your camera. Regarding care, the magnesium alloy finish is resistant to corrosion, but it is recommended to wipe the unit down with a dry, lint-free cloth after exposure to moisture or dust to keep the mounting threads clear of debris.
