Troubleshooting
Suction cup is not holding securely.
Ensure the surface is perfectly clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Check the rubber seal for damage. Try moistening the edge of the cup slightly before applying.
Difficulty activating the pump mechanism.
Make sure the pump is correctly aligned and the surface has a good seal. Ensure there are no obstructions within the pump mechanism.
Camera wobbles or feels unstable after mounting.
Re-apply the pump cup, ensuring a strong vacuum seal. Check that the camera is securely attached to the spigot adapter and that the spigot is firmly screwed into the ball-joint.
The 5/8" spigot adapter is loose.
Ensure the adapter is properly threaded into the ball-joint socket. Tighten by hand; do not force.
