4.2 Using with Different Devices
The Hohem H58 tripod is compatible with various devices:
- Digital Cameras (DSLRs, Mirrorless): Attach the quick release plate directly to the camera's tripod mount.
- Action Cameras (GoPro, Insta360): Use a compatible adapter (not included) to attach the action camera to the quick release plate.
- Smartphones: Use a smartphone holder (not included) that can be mounted onto the quick release plate or directly onto the tripod's screw mount.
- Gimbals: Many gimbals have a standard 1/4-inch tripod screw mount at the bottom, allowing direct attachment via the quick release plate.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down the tripod legs and head with a soft, dry cloth after each use. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly.
- Lubrication: Periodically check moving parts. If any joints feel stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
- Storage: Store the tripod in its carry bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is clean and dry before storage.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect all screws, locks, and joints for any signs of wear or damage. Tighten any loose screws using the provided hex key.

- Solution:
- Ensure the screw on the quick release plate is fully tightened into your device's tripod mount.
