Can this be used for anything other than follow focus motors?

Troubleshooting
The clamp rotates after tightening.
Ensure the locating pin is fully seated into the cage's locating hole before tightening the knob screw.
The rod feels loose in the clamp.
Verify if you are using the correct rod size and that the 12mm adapter is properly installed if using a 12mm rod.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, align the locating pin on the base of the clamp with the corresponding hole on your compatible SmallRig cage (models 3440, 3277, 3278, or 3212). Tighten the 1/4"-20 knob screw until firm. If using a 12mm rod system, ensure the included adapter is properly seated before inserting the rod.
Care instructions include wiping the aluminum surface with a clean, dry cloth after outdoor use. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that might strip the anodized finish. Regularly inspect the knob screw thread for debris to ensure smooth operation.
