At 3:31 you say this is how to expand the holder and then struggle a few seconds trying to pull it apart because it won't move. Then at 3:40 you flip it and pull something on the other side and it pops loose. I wish I knew what that trick was because I can't seem to expand mine no matter what. UPDATE: I did get it loose after gently prying the little silver logo screw with a screwdriver. It seemed like it was practically soldered onto the plate. Overall it has a great design and I can't wait to use it.
Thanks for this comment, I had the exact same problem as you and ended up on this video. Nothing seemed to work, but forcing the silver button thing away from the rest of the top part opened up the mechanism. Everything's working correctly now.
Great Video! Mine was loose as shit broke it trying to tighten the screw that holds the top piece on. The problem was that it pans as it is sitting sometimes. It has no adjustment tightening nut for the pan movement. The pro looks much much better with the ball head. Wish i would have bought the pro mount with joby legs separate. To be honest you will never use the little rod that broke. I haven't yet other than for 1 Panoramic photo lol

Thanks man! Ya, I couldn’t stand the “auto pan” feature either. 😜 It went back.
is there any way to get the spinning silver/blue thing to lock in place? at certain angles my phone is too heavy so it ends up spinning out of angle
Nope. Big problem with this thing. Took mine back. Just go with the normal version.
i checked again and saw theres no way to stop it from spinning so i too decided to go with a normal version. thanks though
Mine broke too...on the 1st touch! Thats why i searched around for reviews. How disappointing!
the same happend too me
dude, pan and tilt? you didn't show it . man I'm mad because that's why i came to see the video!
Sorry man. It’s not that great. If the phone isn’t perfectly level, it’ll actually pan on its own - no way to tighten it.
