  • Regularly inspect all screws and connections to ensure they are tight. Use the included Allen wrench for tightening if necessary.
  • Clean the handle and NATO rail with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish or silicone grip.

Fehlerbehebung

Handle is loose or wobbly after attachment

Ensure the locking knob on the NATO clamp is fully tightened. If the issue persists, check if the NATO rail itself is securely attached to your camera cage. Re-tighten any loose screws using the Allen wrench.

Rotation mechanism feels stiff or does not lock properly

Ensure the unlock button is fully depressed when attempting to rotate. If the mechanism feels stiff, check for any debris or obstructions around the rotating joint. Avoid forcing the rotation; if resistance is significant, contact customer support.
