7 عیب یابی

Q: The tripod feels wobbly when fully extended.
A: Ensure all leg locks are fully tightened. Avoid over-extending the thinnest leg sections if maximum stability is required. Consider using the carabiner hook to add weight for improved stability, especially with heavier camera setups or in windy conditions.
Q: The ball head movement is stiff or difficult to adjust.
A: Check if the ball lock knob is fully loosened. If the issue persists, clean the ball head mechanism and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant as described in the maintenance section.
Q: My camera setup exceeds 6kg (13.2lb).
A: The AM-5C is optimized for travel-friendly loads up to 6kg. Using equipment exceeding this limit may compromise stability and potentially damage the tripod or your gear. For heavier setups, consider a tripod with a higher load capacity, such as the SIRUI AM-324+AM-40 Series Tripod.
