What is the benefit of the anti-twist pins?

The rail is 2 inches long, making it compact and ideal for mounting single accessories like arms or small handles.
Is the rail compatible with standard NATO clamps?
Yes, it is designed to work with any standard NATO-compatible accessory clamps.
Troubleshooting
Accessory slides off the end of the rail accidentally
Ensure the spring-loaded safety pins are fully engaged and not stuck in the open position due to grit or debris.
Monitor rotates or wiggles when mounted
Verify that you have installed the correct anti-twist locator pin insert for your specific monitor model and that it is sitting flush against the mounting surface.
Rail mounting screw keeps loosening
Ensure the washer is present and consider using a small amount of low-strength threadlocker if the rig experiences constant high-vibration use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward. Using the provided hex wrench and 1/4-20 screws, mount the rail onto your monitor cage’s 1/4-20 threading. Select the correct anti-twist insert that matches your monitor brand to ensure the locator pins engage properly.
Regarding compatibility, the rail is designed for standard NATO-style clamps. To maintain the unit, keep the spring-loaded pins free of dust and debris to ensure smooth sliding action. Periodically check that the mounting bolt is tight, as vibrations from handheld shooting can occasionally loosen hardware over time.
