How to use

Attach your camera or smartphone to the tripod using the standard screw thread or compatible phone mount. Bend the legs to create a stable base on flat surfaces or wrap them around objects such as poles or railings for elevated or angled perspectives. Adjust the leg positions and grip points until the device is secure and the framing is correct. For portrait orientation, rotate the mount or reposition the legs to maintain balance and prevent tipping.

Usage recommendations

For best stability, ensure the device’s center of gravity is close to the tripod’s base and avoid exceeding the tripod’s recommended load. Use textured or rubberized contact points when wrapping the legs around smooth surfaces to reduce slipping. Store the tripod in a protective pouch when traveling to prevent abrasion and keep mounting threads clear of debris.
