5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the tripod with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: When not in use, collapse the tripod to its minimum size and store it in the provided carrying bag to protect it from damage and dust.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws, clips, and joints to ensure they are secure. Tighten any loose parts as needed.

6. Troubleshooting

• Tripod is Unsteady:
  • Ensure all three legs are fully extended and placed on a flat, stable surface.
  • Verify that all height adjustment clips are securely fastened.
  • For heavier phones (e.g., iPhone 17 Pro Max), ensure the center of gravity is balanced and avoid over-extending the gooseneck too far horizontally without counterweight.
• Phone Holder Not Gripping Securely:
  • Ensure your phone's width is within the supported range (2.28" - 4").
  • Check for any obstructions in the phone holder's grip.
• Wireless Remote Not Connecting:
  • Ensure the remote control is powered on and has a working battery.
  • Check your phone's Bluetooth settings to ensure it's discoverable and attempt to re-pair the remote.
  • Note: Some apps (e.g., Snapchat) may not fully support external Bluetooth remotes for photo/video capture.
