Колдонуучу сунуштар

  • For optimal stability, always ensure all screws are hand-tightened securely. Avoid over-tightening, which can strip threads.
  • When mounting heavier accessories (close to the 1.5kg limit), double-check the tightness of the M5 Toggle Screw frequently during use.
  • Utilize the locating pins/points on the TA-MBH-1420-B model whenever possible to prevent unwanted rotation of the bracket itself on your rig.
  • Consider the balance of your setup when positioning accessories to avoid putting excessive strain on the ball head or your camera's mounting points.
