5.2 Removing the Suction Cup

To remove the suction cup, simultaneously pull up on the two rubber tabs located on the edge of the suction cup base. This will release the vacuum pressure, allowing for easy detachment from the surface.

6. Tiaki

  • Always keep the suction cup base and filter foam clean and intact. Any debris can compromise the suction seal.
  • When not in use, attach the included dust cover to the suction cup to prevent contamination and extend the product's lifespan.
  • Store the mount in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Te Raru

  • Ngaronga o te Momo: If the white marking line on the air pump reappears, it indicates a loss of vacuum pressure. Immediately pump the valve again until the line disappears to restore secure suction.
  • Mount Not Sticking: Ensure the mounting surface is perfectly clean, dry, and smooth. Avoid textured or porous surfaces. Check the suction cup base for any damage or debris.
  • Adhesion Status: For safety, check the adhesion status every 2 hours during operation, especially in dynamic environments like moving vehicles.
  • Hua kino: Discontinue use if the suction cup base or filter foam is damaged, as this can lead to unexpected detachment and potential damage to your camera.
Important notes for the SMALLRIG 4.5 inch Suction Cup Mount, emphasizing use on clean, dry, flat surfaces, keeping the base clean, repumping if the safety line shows, caution with protective films, and regular adhesion checks.
