FAQs
Will this work on painted metal?
Yes, it works on painted metal, but the magnetic hold may be slightly weaker compared to raw, bare metal.
Can I use this with my smartphone?
You can use this with a smartphone if you attach a 1/4-inch compatible phone tripod adapter to the mount.
Is it waterproof?
While the materials are corrosion-resistant, ensure you dry the mount thoroughly after any exposure to moisture or saltwater.
What is the weight limit of the mount?
It is designed specifically for action cameras and compact equipment; avoid mounting heavy DSLR or mirrorless setups.
Are the magnets strong enough for car exteriors?
While strong, using it on a moving vehicle is risky; always use a safety tether and verify the mount is securely fastened before any movement.
Troubleshooting
The mount slips or slides on the metal surface.
Ensure the surface is completely flat and free of dust, grease, or paint, as these can weaken the magnetic bond.
The ball head feels loose after adjustment.
Firmly tighten the locking knob on the ball head housing to ensure it is fully engaged and locked in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the mount is straightforward: screw your camera or action camera adapter onto the 1/4-inch thread on the ball head. Once attached, hold the magnetic base against a flat, clean metallic surface until you feel the magnets engage. To adjust your shot, simply loosen the locking knob on the ball head, position your device, and tighten it firmly. To ensure the longevity of the mount, keep the magnetic base clean by wiping it with a microfiber cloth after every use. Avoid placing the mount near credit cards, pacemakers, or electronic devices sensitive to magnetic fields, as the magnets are quite strong. When not in use, store the mount in a cool, dry place and ensure the silicone base remains free of grit to prevent future scratching.
