How can I rotate the screw on to the camera. Screw is stuck. Can't open it by hand or coin. I have to rotate the camera on the screw??

I have no idea, maybe you should contact the company. I never had that problem. John

When I attach the strap, I line up the screw on the strap with the hole on the bottom of the camera and start threading it on by using (twisting/turning) the strap. Then once the thread has started I use the pop up "C" shaped crank (?) and then hand tighten by turning that. I never overtighten but always make sure it is snug then lay the "C" shaped crank flush against the camera. I hope this helps!

I would at least contact the vendor. If no help, then the joby people. Maybe there is a defect. Be sure to check your camera's fitting, maybe it's stripped.

Hi, sorry, I didn't see this question. I'm not sure what you mean the screw is stuck. We have a good how to video at vimeo.com/68656159. At what point in the video is the screw stuck for you?

I've never had a problem like this, it sounds almost like the thread is damaged. LContact the manufacturer. I find this the best accessory I've ever purchased for my DSLR

I was having the same problem/frustration ... P Cheng is right on the money ... once you put the head on the tripod (i.e. spin it around on the screw coming from the tripod) you are NOT done. There are three holes on the UNDER-side of head mounting plate. They are actually on the tripod plate that you just mounted the head two (i.e. the bottom disc). You put the smaller allen wrench in each of these and tighten it down. Now the tripod head will no-longer swivel around that screw. The screwing in you do first is just to get it semi-tight and flush with the bottom "disc". Once the allen-head screws have been tightened down you will not have a problem.

The threaded metal part mounted to the case MUST rotate to secure it to the camera. If it doesn't , the case is defective. Force it. You have nothing to lose. Good luck.

The screw post is reversible on the top of the monopod. All you need to do is screw it into either the camera or if your using a telephoto lens with a lens collar- then into that. Some like to have a tilting head attached but to me it makes it too easy to have an accident. When your holding the monopod- the entire rig is attached to it so its steady and secure

One can use Allen wrench (hex key). I angled the camera and goggles in a way that I can tighten down the supplied handle for mounts then just pushed the camera until I found the shooting angle that I wanted.

You cannot rotate the camera, it is fixed like a lamp to its post. You can but rotate the whole setup. This stand cannot hold on its own so it is not used for self portrait, what it can be used is to give you extra support while clicking shutter on a shaking surface.

Contact the maker "J. B. Camera designs" he has some 'beta' screws that will solve your problem. I contacted him, he asked for my mailing address and sent me two replacement screws. Works great on a tripod now.Hamish

You must check the screw threads specifications. They are not consistent even with newer or present models. We bought one for an install job and it didnt match the typical screw threads. I had to get a friends model of the same in exchange for mine and it did fit. Vendor never returned our request for either a replacement or refund so therefore, buyer beware. Other than that it works well especially with the remote. It would be a hassle if u have to get a screw thread adaptor to mount any camera.

Maybe try pressing the reset button under the camera. Its a little dot inside the camera so you might need to use a needle to push it. Hope this helps :-)

Rotate the arm 1/4 turn and reinstall the thumb screw. Refer to instruction sheet if that does not make since.Thank you!

Sorry you are having issues... unlock the knob on the side, and push in the button on the other side when you slide it out. It actually should slide out either way. Many of these plates come with extra screws for your camera and generally they store them under the plate, usually screwed in. It's possible that maybe one of them loosened and is preventing your plate form coming out. Try turning over the whole thing and maybe that will create a gap to get your plate out. I have 4 of these, and at work we have another 6. I haven't had any issues, so hopefully this isn't a common problem. Hope that helps, good luck!

Yes, I did and it's easily fixed. Use a appropriate size wrench to simply tighten the nuts on the screws until the camera isn't too hard to rotate, but the frame supports the weight of the flash. I'd tighten the screws about 1/4 turn each until this result is achieved.

I have taken a video in a function. I just slowly rotated it. It is the way how you handle it. You need to loose the screw to move it smoothly.

The fix is real easy. No need to take the camera apart. Order the Shutter Button Release Assembly from Sony. Cost was around $18.00 + tax + Shipping. I received the new assembly in one week. Note the angle of the old assembly before removing it so that you can line up the new one correctly. To remove the old button assembly, use a rubber bottle opener to get a good grip. Turn slightly counter clockwise. Then use your fingernail to lift it up. Look inside using a magnifing (sp) glass and find the pieces that broke off, a spring, a small plastic tip and a small snap ring. Look at the opening and you'll notice two slots, that's where the two little feet will line up. Again using the rubber bottle opener and pressing down slightly, turn the new assembly clockwise. You'll feel it. Make sure to clean out the pieces that broke off. I couldn't find the spring, now I can't use that little wheel to bring the viewfinder into focus for my eye. LCD is still sharp as are the pictures. Just the viewfinder. Good luck. June Sat, 18 Aug 2007 18:50:55 +0000 Whoops: x21083252 Sony Direct Accessories

Most cameras have a little ring or hook on them. All you do is ....hmmm hard to explain. I'll give it a try. Put the little loop (bottom of the pic) through the ring on the camera. Loop the larger one through the small one and it's permanently attached. Did that make any sense at all?

It's probably stuck, wedge a paper clip or small flat head screw driver in flash slot and wiggle it out gently. If this doesn't work send it back to Nikon, that part is under warranty.
