- Adjustable Clamping Range: The clamp accommodates diameters from 22mm to 38mm. A silicone gasket is included to reduce the clamping range to 9mm to 15mm for smaller tubes. This versatility allows attachment to various objects such as motorcycle rearview mirror tubes, boat guardrails, bicycle pipe clamps, fishing rods, and more.
- Extension Rod Compatibility: Designed to connect with extension rods and selfie sticks (sold separately) to expand shooting scenes and angles beyond close distances.
-
Wide Device Compatibility: Compatible with most action cameras, wearable cameras, card machines, and mobile phones (requires a separate phone holder). This includes models such as GoPro Hero series, DJI Osmo Pocket/Action series, and Insta360 series.

Setup and Installation
Attaching the Clamp Mount
- To open the clamp, unscrew the locking knob counterclockwise until the clamp jaws are sufficiently wide.
- Position the clamp around the desired tube or bar. Ensure the silicone gasket is used for smaller diameters (9-15mm) to provide a secure fit.
- Screw the locking knob clockwise to tighten the clamp securely onto the tube. Ensure it is firm and does not rotate freely.
Attaching the Camera Adapter
- The mount comes with an action camera adapter. To attach it, align the adapter with the ball head on the clamp mount.
- Secure the adapter to the ball head using the provided locking screw.
- For devices requiring a 1/4-inch screw, the action camera adapter can be replaced with a 1/4-inch adapter (if included or purchased separately). To replace, unscrew the existing adapter, squeeze the bottom of the ball head to release, and then attach the new adapter by pressing it into place and locking clockwise.

Operating Instructions
Adjusting Camera Angle
The dual ball head design allows for flexible adjustment of your camera's position. Loosen the screw on the side of the ball head to adjust the angle. Once the desired angle is achieved, tighten the screw firmly to lock the camera in place.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the mount in a cool, ventilated place, ideally between -10°C and 40°C (14°F and 104°F), when not in use.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and joints for tightness. Ensure the silicone gasket is in good condition if used.
Troubleshooting
-
Mount is not stable or slips:
Ensure the locking knob is tightened sufficiently. For smaller diameter tubes, verify that the silicone gasket is correctly installed to provide adequate grip. When mounting, shake the clip repeatedly to confirm it is securely in place before use. Avoid exceeding the maximum recommended weight of 500g.
-
Camera angle shifts during use:
Confirm that the ball head locking screw is fully tightened after adjusting the camera angle. Excessive vibration, especially during off-road activities or high speeds, may require re-tightening.
-
Difficulty attaching to a surface:
Check the diameter of the surface. The clamp is designed for diameters between 22-38mm, or 9-15mm with the silicone gasket. Ensure the surface is within this range and is cylindrical or tubular for optimal grip.
