3. Setup Guide

3.1 Unpacking and Initial Inspection

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts are present and undamaged: the selfie stick tripod unit and the detachable Bluetooth remote.

3.2 Inserting the Remote Control Battery

The Bluetooth remote control requires one CR2032 battery. Locate the battery compartment on the side or back of the remote, open it, and insert the CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up. Close the compartment securely.

3.3 Bluetooth Pairing

1. Ensure the remote control has a battery and is powered on (if it has a power switch).
2. On your smartphone, go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth on.
3. The remote control will appear in the list of available devices (e.g., "Fotopro Remote" or similar). Tap on it to pair.
4. Once paired, the remote's indicator light will typically stop blinking or turn solid, indicating a successful connection.

3.4 Attaching Your Smartphone

Gently pull open the phone holder clamp. Place your smartphone securely within the clamp, ensuring it is centered and stable. The holder is designed to accommodate phones between 4.7 and 6.5 inches.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Extending the Selfie Stick

Hold the base of the unit and gently pull the phone holder upwards to extend the telescopic pole. Extend it to your desired length, up to 670mm (approximately 2.2 feet).

4.2 Deploying the Tripod Legs

At the base of the selfie stick, gently push down on the bottom section to unfold the integrated tripod legs. Spread the legs wide enough to ensure stability on a flat surface.

4.3 Using the Fill Light

• Power On/Off: Long press the power button on the fill light unit to turn it on or off.
• Adjust Brightness/Color Temperature: Once the light is on, short press the power button to cycle through 6 levels of brightness and 3 different color temperatures (warm, natural, cool).

The phone holder features a 360° rotatable design. You can manually rotate your phone to switch between horizontal (landscape) and vertical (portrait) modes without removing it from the clamp. This allows for flexible shooting angles.
