Setup Instructions
1. Attaching the Suction Cups
Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Press each suction cup firmly onto the surface and then flip the lever down to create a vacuum seal. For optimal adhesion, avoid dusty or textured surfaces.

2. Assembling the Mount
Connect the adjustable selfie stick to the main suction cup base using the provided ball head and tightening knob. The double-sleeve arm can be used to connect the secondary suction cup base to the selfie stick for added stability, especially for longer extensions or higher speeds.
For the handlebar mount, attach it to the desired handlebar or pole, then secure your camera or selfie stick to its ball head.

3. Camera Attachment
The mount features a standard 1/4-20 screw for direct attachment of compatible cameras. Ensure your camera is securely fastened before operation.
Operating Instructions
1. Positioning and Angle Adjustment
Loosen the tightening knobs on the ball heads and double-sleeve arm to adjust the angle and extension of the selfie stick and camera. Once the desired position is achieved, firmly tighten all knobs to prevent movement during recording.

2. Invisible Selfie Stick Functionality
When using 360 panoramic cameras (e.g., Insta360, DJI OSMO 360), the adjustable selfie stick is designed to be automatically removed from the footage by the camera's software, creating a "flying camera" effect. Ensure your camera's settings are configured for this feature.

3. Safety Precautions
- Always ensure all suction cups are fully engaged and levers are locked before driving.
- Regularly check the suction cup adhesion, especially during long drives or in varying temperatures.
- Avoid mounting on painted surfaces that are chipped, peeling, or not in good condition, as strong suction could cause damage.
- Do not exceed recommended speeds when the mount is attached to a moving vehicle.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PellKing Suction Car Mount, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning Suction Cups: After each use, clean the suction cup surfaces with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris. Allow them to air dry completely before storage.
- Storage: Store the mount in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing with the suction cups pressed against uneven surfaces, which could deform them.
- Lubrication: Periodically check the moving parts and threads. A small amount of silicone grease can be applied to the threads of the tightening knobs if they become stiff.
- Inspection: Before each use, inspect all components for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Do not use the mount if any part is compromised.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Suction cups not adhering properly. | Surface is dirty, wet, textured, or suction cup is damaged. | Clean and dry the mounting surface. Ensure it is smooth. Inspect suction cups for damage; replace if necessary. |
| Mount wobbles or shifts during use. | Tightening knobs are not fully secured; insufficient suction. | Ensure all knobs are firmly tightened. Re-apply suction cups if necessary, ensuring a strong seal. Use the secondary suction base for added stability. |
| Selfie stick not "invisible" in 360 footage. | Camera settings not configured; incorrect camera model. | Verify your camera model is compatible with the invisible selfie stick feature. Check camera settings and firmware for proper configuration. |
