Instructions and Warranty
3 Footed Monster - Instructions
You can mount any device that has a 1/4" UNC thread onto the 3 Footed Monster. It can be placed on a metallic surface or set upright on a flat surface. Aim the mounted device in your desired direction and secure the ball head using the adjacent turn-screw.
TRULY UNIVERSAL!
Each 3 Footed Monster includes two additional attachments: a camera mount and a phone clamp. These allow you to attach smartphones of any size, GoPros, standard cameras, and much more!
IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE
-
Ball Head Tightening: Do not over-tighten the ball head. Excess force can damage the ball, leading to sticky and uneven rotation, or even jamming.
-
Magnet Maintenance: Regularly check the countersunk bolts that secure the magnets, as vibrations can loosen them over time. For high-vibration situations (e.g., on a car), we recommend using red Loctite on the bolt threads. Note: All later production mounts come pre-assembled with Loctite to prevent loosening.
-
Magnetic Force Limitations: Due to the variability of metal thickness, mounting speeds, and other factors, we cannot guarantee specific ratings for speed or other uses. We strongly advise exercising discretion based on your application. Remember, they’re magnetic, not magic!
-
Surface Care: The magnetic feet can attract small metallic particles. If mounting on painted surfaces, ensure the feet are clean, or place a thin cloth or separation layer that doesn’t affect magnetic force below them. We are not responsible for scratches on your vehicle's paint.
-
Selfie Sticks: Avoid using “selfie sticks” at high speeds, as they create additional side load, increasing shear force on the magnets.
-
Safety Precautions: Whenever possible, use a tether cord or zip ties to secure cameras and mounts in case the magnets detach from the mounting surface.
-
Aluminium Surfaces: Please note that aluminium is not magnetic (Because science). Therefore, if your vehicle is made of aluminium, the mounts will not adhere.
WARRANTY & RETURNS
- This product is covered by a warranty contingent on return and inspection.
- Buyers are responsible for return shipping costs when initiating warranty claims.
- Individual faulty parts can be replaced, but the entire product must be returned for inspection and repair.
- The warranty is void if the mount has been dropped or damaged due to misuse.
- A 45-day warranty from the date of purchase or arrival is provided, valid only for faulty products.
- All warranty claims must be accompanied by a receipt or proof of purchase and will be inspected upon return.
- Refunds are subject to approval and may incur a restocking fee. Items must be returned unopened, at the buyer’s expense, and in the condition in which they were originally shipped.
AGGRESSOR INSTRUCTIONS
- Always ensure that the ball head is free to move before attempting to move object mounted to it.
- Ensure to set the desired amount of tension on the quick release plate before putting the mount to use to ensure that the Picatinny or Arca mounted item is secure. To add or release tension on the quick release, unlock the lever and simply add or remove tension by rotating the knob on the other side of the plate.
- ALWAYS leave the bottom rotational lock knob loose when using the product. This should only be tightened when the mount isn't being used or the operator wants the mounts to remain in that exact position. Failure to do this can result in overcoming the tension on the bolt and lock washer holding the ball head to the base. Continued attempts at this will damage the mount base and void the warranty.
