How do I ensure the mount is secure?
After pressing the suction cups onto the surface, ensure you activate the security lock mechanism on each arm for maximum adhesion.

What is the material of the mount?
The mount is constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) for durability.
Is the mount easy to transport?
Yes, it features a foldable design that makes it compact and easy to carry in a camera bag or backpack.
What is the maximum angle of adjustment for the ball head?
The dual ball head allows for 360° adjustment, offering complete freedom in tilting and rotating your device.
How often should I check the suction?
It's recommended to check the security of the suction periodically, especially after prolonged use or before starting a critical recording session.
Troubleshooting
Suction cups not holding firmly
Ensure the mounting surface is perfectly clean, dry, and smooth. Re-clean the suction cups and the surface. Make sure the security locks are fully engaged.
Device angle drifts or slips
Tighten the locking knobs on the dual ball head firmly. Ensure the 1/4" screw is securely fastened to your device.
Mount feels unstable
Verify all three suction cups are properly adhered and locked. Check that the surface itself is rigid and not flexing.
