Setup
1. Attaching the Super Clamp to a Bar
The super clamp is designed to securely attach to tubular objects. It supports a clamping range of 15-40mm for standard use. For smaller diameters (8-15mm), use the included small-diameter silicone pad.
- Open the clamp by rotating the lock knob counter-clockwise.
- If clamping to a bar with a diameter between 8-15mm, insert the small-diameter silicone pad into the clamp jaws. Ensure it is properly seated to prevent loss.
- Position the clamp around the desired bar (e.g., handlebar, frame).
- Rotate the lock knob clockwise to tighten the clamp until it is firmly secured and does not move. Do not overtighten.

2. Attaching Camera or Phone Holder
The mount features a dual ball-joint design with a 1/4" screw adapter and an action camera adapter for broad compatibility.
- Identify the appropriate adapter for your device: the 1/4" screw adapter for cameras with a standard tripod thread, or the action camera adapter for devices like GoPro.
- Screw the chosen adapter onto the top ball head of the mount.
- If using a smartphone, attach the phone clip to the 1/4" screw adapter, then secure your phone within the clip.
- Ensure all connections are hand-tightened for security.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your K&F CONCEPT Super Clamp Camera Mount, follow these maintenance guidelines:

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Super Clamp Camera Mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mount is not stable or slips on the bar. | Clamp not tightened sufficiently; incorrect silicone pad used; bar surface is oily/dirty. | Ensure the lock knob is fully tightened. Use the correct silicone pad for the bar diameter. Clean the bar surface and the clamp's anti-slip pads. |
| Camera/phone holder angle shifts during use. | Ball head lock knob not tightened enough. | Firmly tighten the central lock knob on the dual ball head assembly after adjusting the angle. |
| Cannot attach to small diameter bars (e.g., 10mm). | Small-diameter silicone pad not used or incorrectly installed. | Insert the small-diameter silicone pad into the clamp jaws. This pad is designed for diameters between 8-15mm. |
| Device (camera/phone) does not fit the adapter. | Incorrect adapter selected or device is not compatible. | Ensure you are using the 1/4" screw adapter for standard cameras or the action camera adapter for compatible action cameras. Verify your device's mounting type. |
