7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Stand is unstable or wobbles. | Uneven ground; loose pole connections; clamp not tightened sufficiently. | Ensure stand is on a level surface. Tighten all pole sections. If using table clamp, ensure it is fully tightened to a stable surface. If using stake, ensure it is firmly inserted into the ground. |
| Ball head does not hold position. | Locking knob is loose; device is too heavy. | Tighten the ball head locking knob firmly. Ensure the mounted device does not exceed the stand's weight capacity. |
| Pole sections are difficult to screw together. | Dirt or debris in threads; cross-threading. | Clean threads thoroughly. Ensure sections are aligned correctly before screwing to avoid cross-threading. |
