5. Installation
The NEEWER Wall Ceiling Mount can be securely installed on various surfaces. Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the weight of the mount and your equipment.
Installation Steps for Expansion Screws (for brick, aerated concrete, and other load-bearing materials):
- Drill a Hole: Use a power drill to create a hole in the wall or ceiling. The size of the hole should be the same as the expansion tube of the screw.
- Insert Expansion Screw: Insert the expansion screw into the drilled hole.
- Tighten the Screw: Use a wrench to tighten the hex nut. The end of the metal expansion tube will open and expand after force is applied, firmly embedding the screw in the wall and ensuring the safety of your equipment.
Installation Steps for Self-Tapping Screws:
For surfaces suitable for self-tapping screws, simply align the mount with the desired position and drive the self-tapping screws directly into the surface until secure. Ensure the screws are fully seated and the mount is firm.
6. Operation
The NEEWER Wall Ceiling Mount is designed for easy attachment of various photography equipment.
Attaching Equipment:
- The mount features a versatile spigot stud with 1/4" and 3/8" male threads, and a 5/8" receiver.
- To attach equipment with a 1/4" or 3/8" female thread, screw it directly onto the corresponding male thread on the stud.
- For equipment with a 5/8" receiver (e.g., softboxes, ring lights), slide it onto the 5/8" stud.
- Once the equipment is in place, use the aluminum alloy knob to securely tighten the stud, preventing any movement.
