Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Accessory feels loose after attachment. | Top plate not fully engaged or screws are loose. | Ensure the top plate is fully slid into the base until the red knob clicks. Tighten all 1/4"-20 screws on both plates. |
| Difficulty detaching the top plate. | Red locking knob not fully depressed or mechanism is stiff. | Press the red locking knob firmly and slide the plate out. If stiff, ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism. |
| Screws do not tighten securely. | Incorrect screw size or stripped threads. | Verify you are using the correct 1/4"-20 screws. If threads are stripped, contact customer support. |
