4. Opsætning og installation
4.1 Attaching the Suction Cup
- Ensure the mounting surface (e.g., car hood, roof, window) is clean, dry, and smooth.
- Place the 4-inch vacuum suction cup firmly onto the desired surface.
- Press the button on the suction cup to create a secure vacuum seal. Ensure the cup is fully engaged and stable before proceeding.

4.2 Assembling the Shock Absorber Arm
- Attach the shock absorber arm to the suction cup base.
- Select the appropriate camera mount:
- For DJI Osmo Pocket 3: Use the dedicated mount.
- For GoPro HERO series, Insta360 X series, and other action cameras: Use the universal mount plate with the 1/4"-20 threaded hole.
- Securely attach your camera to the chosen mount.
- If using lightweight equipment, attach the provided 100g counterweight to stabilize the setup.

5. Betjeningsvejledning
5.1 Adjusting Damping
The shock absorber arm features an adjustable damping knob. Rotate the knob to increase or decrease damping based on the terrain:
- Forøg Damping: For bumpy or uneven terrain, rotate the knob to increase damping. This helps to absorb more significant shocks and reduce excessive movement.
- Reduce Damping: For flat or smooth surfaces, rotate the knob to reduce damping. This allows for more subtle movements and can be preferred for less aggressive stabilization.
Experiment with the damping settings to find the optimal balance for your specific shooting environment and camera weight.
5.2 Adjusting Arm Angles
The joints on the shock absorber arm are adjustable, allowing you to position your camera at various angles for optimal shot composition. Loosen the locking mechanisms, adjust the arm to the desired angle, and then securely tighten the locks.

6. Vedligeholdelse og pleje
- Rensning: Regularly clean the suction cup and all components with a soft, damp klud. Undgå slibende rengøringsmidler eller opløsningsmidler.
- Sugekoppleje: Always use the provided dust cover when the suction cup is not in use. This prevents dust and debris from accumulating on the suction surface, which can compromise its sealing ability and extend its service life.
- Opbevaring: Store the shock absorber arm and its accessories in the provided storage bag to protect them from damage and dust.
- Inspektion: Periodically inspect all moving parts and connections for any signs of wear or looseness. Ensure all screws and knobs are securely tightened before each use.
7. Fejlfinding
This section addresses common issues you might encounter. If you experience problems not covered here, please contact SMALLRIG customer support.
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Suction cup not holding securely. | Surface is dirty, wet, porous, or not smooth enough. Suction cup is damaged. | Clean and dry the mounting surface thoroughly. Ensure the surface is smooth and non-porous. Inspect the suction cup for damage; replace if necessary. Ensure the button is fully pressed to create vacuum. |
| Excessive vibration or shaky footage. | Damping not adjusted correctly for terrain. Camera too heavy or too light without counterweight. Loose connections. | Juster damping knob to increase damping for bumpy terrain. Ensure camera weight is within 600g limit. Use the counterweight for lighter cameras. Check all connections and tighten securely. |
| Arm feels stiff or difficult to adjust. | Locking mechanisms are too tight. Debris in joints. | Loosen the locking mechanisms before attempting to adjust. Clean any visible debris from the joints. |
