how do I make the tripod mount that the pole comes with go on to the pole extention it seems like it always wants to go slanted or sideways

Sorry but you can't. This pole is worthless to use with a camera on the top-side. Mine did the same thing and now it is the trash. Try to get your money back while you still can. Absolute junk!

I have to use two tripods (on each far side) instead on the middle. It was unstable for me too.

Are you using a J-hook adapter? This should allow you to position the GoPro camera at whatever angle you want. Something like this (this link is not the 'GoPro' brand, but pictures the adapter for your reference): Smatree® Vertical Surface J-Hook Buckle Mount For GoPro Hero4 Hero3+ Hero3/2 Camera - Black

there are two camera mounts; one on either side of the center tripod mount. On each camera mount, there is a handle which loosens and tightens the mount. To loosen it, rotate the handlecounter-clockwise. The camera mount can then slide in either direction. Also note that the thread is the larger mounting thread - if you unscrew it, you will find a smaller thread underneath it. If you still have a question, let me know and perhaps I can make a quick youtube video to help demonstrate. David

It doesn't start to screw in or it doesn't screw in all the way? I've found you can screw it in until it is tight and THEN lock it in place with the nut on top. This means you should always get full contact with the tripod threads. Many things only screw part way into the mount before they get tight against the plate but that seems less secure than the way this works.

Make some legs with other material such as PVC. Make a platform to go onto another tripod and set this one on it.

Tilt one end down a little. Adjust it to al little longer than needed and push it up to where you want it. You might have to pound it up with your hand to the spot needed.

Did u loosen the rounded thing where the mount is? U have to turn it to loosen and then slide the light into the mound on your camera and then twist it back down to tighten again.

None I can think of aside from making sure the tripod screw is near center. There is some room for lateral adjustment but if it were too far to one edge, it may not work.

No I had to build a system to attach it to my tripod. Not to difficult, there is a half inch hole in the bottom of the handle that will let you build one.

You can screw the 4-legged base and the pole to face any direction. But once screwed in, if you wanted to change direction, you'd have to take them apart and re-screw.

Its kind of weird. Take the old gopro mount off. Use the two screws to screw on one of the plates. Attach the rubber thingys to each corner. Attach the other plate to those rubber thingys so now you have a kind of sandwich. Then screw the mount into the 2 screw holes on this second plate. I am not sure this vibration thing does much good -- I have not seen much of a different. There is a software product called ProDRENALIN that is probably worth getting to smooth things out.

Not quite a thumb screw, but the concept is the same. Turn the ranching handle about a quarter turn counter clock wise (carefully if something is mounted there) and slide the mount to where you want it. The same is true for the tripod mount. Again, hold on to anything you have mounted so it doesn't spin.Hope this helps,Dave

I hope you have figured it out by now but if not try pushing the top of the tripod legs down as far as they will go then lock them in place.

On the one I received there is a round tightener that needs to be loosened and then you slide the legs down the pole until they extend to whatever amount you want. If there is resistance when you try to do this then the screw needs to be loosened further. Also check that there is no damage to the legs or pole, there should be no problems at all and is just a very smooth sliding up and down for the legs to extend and then collapse back again.

There is a screw that clamps the mounting bracket to the table. If you loosen that, you can slide the mounting bracket around. If you loosen the set screw that is on the back of the mounting bracket, you can slide the pole up and down, but loosening the set screw does not allow the hook to rotate in the mounting bracket. The hook itself is made out of a square length of wrought iron. I hope this helps.
