Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Aureday Smartphone Tripod, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Tripod is unstable. | Legs not fully extended or locked; uneven surface; excessive height for weight. | Ensure legs are fully extended and locks are secured. Place on a flat surface. For maximum stability, do not extend to full height if not necessary, or place a weight on the tripod base. |
| Remote control not pairing. | Remote not turned on; battery low/dead; Bluetooth not enabled on phone; interference. | Ensure remote is on and battery is good. Enable Bluetooth on your phone. Move closer to the remote. Try re-pairing. |
| Remote control not taking photos. | Not paired; camera app not open; phone settings. | Confirm remote is paired. Open your phone's camera app. Some Android phones may require changing volume button function to shutter in camera settings. |
| Flexible arm sags or doesn't hold position. | Overloaded; not bent correctly for support. | Ensure the weight of the phone is supported by the arm's structure. For overhead shots, it is recommended to push the flexible arm forward and adjust the height, or place a weight on the tripod stopper for stability. |
