Operating Instructions
1. Positioning the Tripod
- Freestanding: Spread the flexible legs to form a stable base on any flat surface.
- Wrapped: Bend and wrap the flexible legs around objects like tree branches, poles, or railings to secure your device for unique angles. Ensure the legs are tightly wrapped and the device is balanced to prevent tipping.
2. Adjusting Shooting Angles
- The 360-degree ball-head mount allows for precise adjustments. Loosen the knob on the side of the ball head to freely rotate and tilt your device.
- Tighten the knob once the desired angle is achieved to lock the position.
- The phone holder also supports switching between vertical and horizontal orientations without needing to remount the phone.

- Press the appropriate button on the remote (iOS or Android icon) to take photos or begin/end video capture.

Maintenance
- Keep the tripod clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
- Avoid exposing the tripod to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.

Troubleshooting
