Troubleshooting

Trigger not working

Ensure the LANC cable is securely connected to both the handle module and the camera. Verify that the camera's LANC function is enabled in its settings and that the camera is compatible with LANC control.

Check that the NATO clamp is fully engaged on the NATO rail. Ensure the clamp's locking mechanism is tightened appropriately.
