Product Overview

The ULANZI Super Clamp consists of three primary components:

• Super Clamp: The main clamping mechanism, designed to securely attach to various surfaces. It features a maximum open distance of 2.3 inches (60mm) and is equipped with protective dense rubber pads to prevent scratches.
• Double Ball Head Magic Arm: This arm connects the clamp to your device, offering 360° adjustability for precise positioning. It includes 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 female threads for broad compatibility.
• ST-07 Phone Tripod Mount: A dedicated mount for smartphones, compatible with the magic arm.

Setup

1. Attaching the Magic Arm to the Super Clamp: The double ball head magic arm is typically pre-assembled with the super clamp. Ensure the central tightening knob is loose enough to allow movement.
2. Attaching Your Device:
   • For Cameras/Monitors/Lights: Use the 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 screw on the top of the magic arm to attach your camera, monitor, LED light, or microphone. Rotate the device clockwise onto the screw until secure.
   • For Smartphones: Attach the ST-07 Phone Tripod Mount to the 1/4"-20 screw on the magic arm. Then, expand the phone mount and carefully place your smartphone into it, ensuring a snug fit.
3. Mounting the Clamp:
   • Turn the T-shape bar on the super clamp counter-clockwise to open the jaws.
   • Position the open jaws around the desired surface (e.g., rod, table edge, bike handle).
   • Turn the T-shape bar clockwise to tighten the jaws until the clamp is firmly secured. The rubber pads will provide a strong grip and protect the surface.

Operating Instructions

1. Adjusting Device Position: Loosen the central wingnut on the double ball head magic arm to adjust the angle and orientation of your attached device. The 360° ballhead allows for extensive flexibility.
2. Securing Device Position: Once the desired angle is achieved, tighten the central wingnut firmly to lock the ball heads in place. This ensures the device remains stable during use.
3. Load Capacity: The recommended maximum load for this clamp is 3.3 lb (1.5 KG). Ensure your equipment does not exceed this weight to maintain stability and prevent damage.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ULANZI Super Clamp, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the clamp and magic arm with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust, dirt, and moisture. For stubborn grime, use a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
• Lubrication: Periodically check the screw threads and ball joints. If movement becomes stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation. Avoid excessive lubrication.
• Storage: Store the clamp in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is clean and dry before storage.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect all components for any signs of wear, damage, or loose parts. Tighten any loose screws or connections as needed.

Troubleshooting

• Clamp Not Holding Securely:
  • Ensure the T-shape bar is tightened sufficiently.
  • Verify that the surface being clamped is within the 60mm maximum opening and is suitable for clamping (e.g., not too thin or irregularly shaped).
  • Check the rubber pads for wear or damage; worn pads may reduce grip.
• Device Slipping from Ball Head:
  • Tighten the central wingnut on the magic arm firmly.
  • Ensure the device's weight does not exceed the 3.3 lb (1.5 KG) payload capacity.
• Missing Phone Mount: If the ST-07 Phone Tripod Mount is missing from your package, please contact ULANZI customer support for assistance.
