1. Use ONLY the Official AKASO 360 Selfie Stick

• Why AKASO original? It has a precisely machined 1/4"-20 screw thread and a locking mechanism that matches the camera’s base. Third-party sticks often have:
  • Slightly shorter/longer screws (cannot fully tighten).
  • Poor rubber gaskets (loosen from vibration).
  • Weak plastic joints (snap under weight or wind).
• Warranty notice:
  If you use a non-AKASO selfie stick and your camera falls, we cannot offer a free replacement or repair. Damage caused by incompatible accessories is not covered.

✅ Correct Installation Steps (with Original Stick)

1. Screw in fully by hand – Turn the camera clockwise until it stops. Do not cross-thread.
2. Tighten the locking ring – On AKASO 360 selfie sticks, there is a silver or black locking ring. Rotate it firmly against the camera base.
3. Check for wobble – Gently try to twist the camera. If it moves at all, repeat step 2.
4. Attach a safety tether (highly recommended) – Loop a strong nylon cord (or the included wrist strap) through the camera’s lanyard hole and around the handlebar or selfie stick base.

🛑 Never mount the camera by just “lightly screwing” it on. Vibration from cycling will loosen it within minutes.

2. What to Do If the Camera Falls Despite Following These Steps?

1. Stop riding immediately – Do not pick up the camera while moving.
2. Inspect for damage – Check lens, screen, battery door, and mounting thread.
3. Contact AKASO Support – Provide:
   • Order number of the camera and selfie stick.
   • Clear photos of the stick’s condition (still attached to bike? broken joint?).
   • Description of the road and vibration level.
   • A short video of the mounting process before the ride (if available).

We will analyze the failure cause. If it is proven to be a manufacturing defect of the AKASO stick (e.g., screw thread sheared off), we will replace both the stick and the camera free of charge.
