Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum thickness of a device this mount can hold?
While the product description focuses on screen size, the jaw opening is designed to accommodate typical tablet and phone thicknesses. Ensure the device fits snugly without excessive force.
Can I charge my device while it's in the mount?
Yes, the mount features reserved space on the jaws, allowing convenient access for charging cables.
Does the mount come with a tripod?
No, the KDD iPad and Phone Tripod Mount Adapter is a standalone accessory. A separate tripod, selfie stick, or mounting arm is required for use.
How do I switch between portrait and landscape mode?
Once your device is mounted, simply adjust the 360° ball head to rotate your device to the desired orientation. You can then lock it in place.
What is the purpose of the reinforcing rib?
The reinforcing rib adds structural integrity and stability to the mount, helping to prevent flexing and ensure a secure hold, especially for larger or heavier devices.
Is this mount suitable for outdoor use?
The mount is designed for general use. While it provides a secure grip, it's recommended to protect it and your device from extreme weather conditions like heavy rain or direct prolonged sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Device feels loose in the mount.
Ensure the device is centered within the jaws and use the locking knob to tighten the grip further. Check that your device's screen size falls within the specified 5.3-10.6 inch range.
Mount won't attach to tripod.
Verify that your tripod has a standard 1/4" screw thread. Ensure the screw is not obstructed and that you are screwing the mount onto the correct mounting plate.
Ball head is stiff or loose.
The ball head tension is typically adjusted via a screw mechanism on the head itself. Gently tighten or loosen this screw as needed. If it remains problematic, ensure no debris is obstructing the ball joint.
Spring arms are difficult to pull back.
Ensure you are pulling the arms outwards evenly. If they are excessively stiff, check for any obstructions or debris within the arm mechanism. Avoid forcing the arms beyond their intended range.
