Proper Setup, Locking Tension Adjustment, and Safe Payload Mounting


The S-Port Quick Release (QR) system is designed for fast and secure payload installation while maintaining reliable electrical connection and stable operation. Proper installation and periodic maintenance are essential to ensure safety, performance, and long-term durability.

This guide summarizes the key points from our instructional video so users can easily understand the process and refer back whenever needed.

1. Warning & Prepare before installation

Correct installation ensures secure mounting and prevents damage to the payload or connector system.

Important Safety Notice

Ensure Correct Power Polarity

Always connect:

  • Positive (+) wire to positive terminal

  • Negative (-) wire to negative terminal

Incorrect wiring may cause permanent damage.

No Hot Swap

Do not connect or disconnect the payload while the system is powered on.
Always power off the system before mounting or removing the payload.

2. Installation Guide

 

Proper Alignment During Installation

Correct Alignment

  • Rotate the mount until the white alignment mark is visible

  • Align the white marks on both top and bottom parts


Surface Alignment

Ensure the top and bottom surfaces remain parallel during installation so the locking mechanism can engage smoothly.

Incorrect Alignment

If the payload mount is not rotated to the white mark position, it will not properly engage with the QR system.


3. Maintenance : Quick Release Locking Tension Check and Adjustment

The locking mechanism must be adjusted correctly to allow smooth operation while keeping the payload securely mounted.

*Please refer to the video at the bottom of the page for a clearer demonstration and better understanding of the correct operating status.

Check

Correct Status ??

When rotating or engaging the QR lock, you should hear a clear and firm “click” sound.
 This indicates the mechanism is engaging properly.

Common Errors

Under-tightened  ??

  • The locking mechanism does not engage correctly

  • No click sound is heard

  • Payload may feel loose or unstable

Incomplete Lock  ??

  • A click sound is heard, but the lock is not fully secured

  • Sound feels weak or loose

  • Payload may not be safely locked in place

Over-tightened  ??

  • The quick release mechanism becomes jammed

  • Lock cannot rotate smoothly

  • Difficult or impossible to engage/disengage


How to Properly Adjust the Locking Tension

Step 1: Remove the Locking Screw and Clean the Area

  • Use a 2.0 mm HEX tool to fully remove the locking screw

  • Clean both the screw and threaded hole

  • Remove dust, dirt, or debris before reassembly

Step 2: Apply Loctite 222

  • Apply a sufficient amount of Loctite 222 threadlocker to the screw

  • Helps maintain secure fastening during operation

Step 3: Torque Adjustment

  • Use a precision torque screwdriver

  • Tighten to 1.6 cNm for optimal locking performance

Pro Tip

After adjustment, test the lock again and confirm a clear “click” sound is present.
