FAQ
How does the tiltpod work? Check out this video. If you still have questions there are more answers below.
…………………………….
What type of cameras can I use with the tiltpod? Most compact digital cameras will work with the tiltpod. Some unusually large digital compacts may have limited range of motion or require external support. NOTE: The tiltpod is not compatible with interchangeable lens cameras, like full-size DSLR’s, micro 4/3′s, or Sony NEX cameras. The lenses used on these cameras are too heavy for the compact tiltpod base.
…………………………….
How does the camera connect to the base? The tiltpod base has an internal high-strength magnet. The included stainless steel pivot point attaches to the camera and can be quickly connected and removed from the tiltpod base.
…………………………….
Which pivot should I use, the screw-on or stick-on? The screw-on pivot is used for cameras that have a tripod socket located close to the center of the camera. If your camera’s tripod socket is located closer to the sides, it may be necessary to apply the stick-on pivot. If you are using the stick-on pivot be sure not to cover the hinge of the battery/memory card door. In some cases, you may actually need to put the stick-on pivot ON the battery/memory card door. Be careful, the adhesive on the stick-on pivot is very sticky, you only get one shot at getting it positioned right!
…………………………….
What surfaces can I use the tiltpod on? The underside of the tiltpod base is made of a grippy material, so it holds on inclined surfaces, wood, rocks, you name it. Since the base is magnetic, it also helps it stick to inclined metal surfaces like car hoods, metal fence posts, or refrigerator doors!
…………………………….
Can I adjust the position of the camera once it’s attached to the base? Yes, the camera can be precisely positioned at many angles within it’s range of motion.
…………………………….
Will the tiltpod magnet erase my memory card? Your camera’s memory card uses solid-state (non-magnetic) technology and is completely safe. However, we recommend keeping the tiltpod away from credit cards or other magnetically sensitive devices.
…………………………….
My camera has a centered socket and I used the screw-on pivot, so what should I do with the extra stick-on pivot? You can stick it to one side of the camera for vertical oriented shots, or use it on a second camera.
