Using as a Tripod Mount
The base of the tripod can be transformed into an Arca-Swiss quick release plate. This allows for rapid attachment to any tripod head with a compatible mounting system. Additionally, the base features multiple bottom screw holes (3 x 1/4" and 1 x 3/8") for seamless integration with various tripods, monopods, and gimbals.

Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your MG03 tripod, keep it clean and free from dust and debris. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Phone Not Staying Securely Attached
Ensure your phone or case is MagSafe compatible. If using the included metal ring, verify it is properly centered and securely adhered to a clean, flat surface on your phone or case. The magnetic holding force is approximately 3 lbs.
Joints are Too Stiff or Too Loose
The joints are designed to be firm for stability. If they feel excessively stiff, gentle, consistent pressure should allow for adjustment. If they become too loose over time, the screws at the joints may be tightened with an appropriate Allen wrench (not included).
