3. Setup
3.1 Attaching Your Camera
The selfie stick comes with two primary adapters: one for GoPro-style mounts and another for Insta360 cameras. It also features a standard 1/4-inch screw port for broader compatibility.
- For GoPro/Action Cameras: Use the provided three-jaw adapter. Align your camera's mounting tabs with the adapter and secure it using the long thumb screw.
- For Insta360/Other Cameras: The stick features a 1/4-inch screw at the top. Directly screw your camera onto this thread. If your Insta360 requires a specific adapter, ensure it is securely attached.
- For Smartphones: A separate smartphone clip (not included) with a 1/4-inch screw thread is required. Attach the smartphone clip to the 1/4-inch screw port on the selfie stick.
