Tips

To ensure maximum stability, always tighten the locking knob firmly after positioning the arm, especially when supporting heavier accessories. When mounting a camera, use the included bracket and align the anti-rotation pin with the corresponding hole on your camera base to prevent twisting. For travel, fold the arm completely and store it in a padded bag to protect the joints.
