Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | Low or no battery charge. | Charge the device fully using the provided Micro USB cable. |
| Rotation is not smooth or stops. | Device overload (camera too heavy). | Ensure the attached device (camera, phone) does not exceed the 1lb weight limit. This mount is best suited for lighter devices like action cameras and smartphones. |
| Rotation direction is unexpected (e.g., only clockwise). | Mode setting or inherent design limitation. | Some modes may have a fixed rotation direction. If a specific bi-directional movement is needed, ensure the "Rotate Back and Forth" mode is selected. Note that some modes might reset direction if parameters are changed mid-operation. |
| Device does not rotate the full selected angle. | Incorrect mode or time setting. | Verify that the selected angle and mode (e.g., "Single Rotation") are correctly set. Ensure sufficient battery charge. |
