Troubleshooting
Grip feels loose after installation
Ensure the D-ring screw is fully tightened. If it remains loose, check if the camera body is properly seated against the baseplate before tightening.
Difficulty mounting to an Arca-Swiss tripod
Ensure that your tripod clamp is fully open before sliding the grip onto the rail. Tighten the clamp firmly once the grip is centered.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
To install, align the grip with the base of your Nikon Z fc camera. Ensure the screw hole on the camera bottom matches the grip's attachment point. Use the integrated 1/4"-20 D-ring screw on the bottom to hand-tighten until secure. Do not overtighten.
Compatibility:
This grip is exclusively designed for the Nikon Z fc. It includes a standard 1/4"-20 hole at the center of the baseplate for compatibility with standard tripods or Manfrotto-style quick-release plates.
Care:
Clean the aluminum and silicone surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. If shooting in dusty or sandy environments, check the Arca-Swiss rail periodically to ensure no debris is stuck, which could prevent a flush fit on your tripod head.
