3. Gently twist your camera clockwise onto the screw mount until it is securely fastened. Do not overtighten.

2.2 Extending and Retracting the Stick

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Achieving the Invisible Effect

The 'invisible' effect is achieved through the Insta360 camera's stitching software. Ensure your camera's firmware is up to date for optimal performance. When recording 360-degree footage, the software automatically detects and removes the selfie stick from the final video or photo, creating a seamless, drone-like perspective.

3.2 Usage Tips

• Stability: For best results, hold the stick firmly and minimize excessive movement during recording, especially in high-intensity scenarios.
• Angle: Experiment with different extension lengths to achieve various perspectives. Shorter lengths are ideal for close-up shots, while longer extensions provide wider, more immersive views.
• Grip: The silicone grip provides a secure hold. Ensure your hand is positioned comfortably to maintain control.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

Wipe the selfie stick with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust, dirt, or moisture. If used in saltwater environments, rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry completely to prevent corrosion.

4.2 Storage

Store the selfie stick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is fully retracted before storage to protect the extension mechanism.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Stick Not Extending/Retracting Smoothly

• Check for any debris or foreign objects lodged in the extension joints.
• Ensure the stick is clean and dry. Lubrication is generally not required for the spring damping mechanism.

5.2 Visible Stick in 360 Footage

• Verify that your Insta360 camera's firmware is updated to the latest version.
• Ensure the camera is correctly mounted and aligned with the stick.
• Confirm that you are using a compatible Insta360 camera model that supports the invisible selfie stick feature.
