I bought this but can't get the locking cold shot button to work with out keeping my thumb on it. How do you lock it?

Hello Dean, I like very much this cold shot button and I use it frequently. I also cannot lock it and I think there is no way to do it. In my opinion it is so, because this is meant to be an additional function and so is the button and it is not placed with the basic buttons. I hope I helped you. Have a great day!

Turn the locking handle 1 Turn at a time clockwise and latch it in tell it is snug, do not over tighten! If that wont work send it in, They will fix the problem....

Not sure if this is an answer to your question? The button does not lock. But if you have a setting on your camera for long exposure such as night shots. It will trigger it just fine. My wife and I use it for night shots and low light shots all the time. We use it with a Nikon D200. We like it.

I am not there but I will throw in a few things on this. This stick has very very short throw buttons on it. Even the main trigger move very little when pressed. They all have very little throw to them but It makes it easy to trigger actions. They are mechinical switches so there wouldn't be a way to freeze/lock all of them that I can think of. Hope this helps.

Push and hold the POWER and LOCK buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. Hope this helps you. Great little cooler so far.

Hold the button down and it will lock in place. Release lock by repressing button

I just forced it. Couldn't find a button. I hope this doesn't wear the lock out so it doesn't stay unfolded!

There is a liner lock that you press with your thumb. Very common design. Works well.

I had the same problem, had to call the company to figure it out. Press the right "trigger" and it should activate it. Press again to turn it off

The tensioner that the Cold Steel's blade lock put on the closed blade made it impossible to flip the blade fully open using just the thumb assist and a good wrist flick. I needed to use two hands; one to hold the handle and the other to fully extend the blade, to get the knife locked open. Similarly, the way the Cold Steel's blade lock works, I had to use two hands to close the blade.

The cold air function is a setting that needs to be selected with the switch on the handle. It is not a cold shot button.

Sounds like the lock mechanism might be bent. Once it's open it should spring open and stay open until you squeeze it closed and put the lock in place to hold it closed. Are you running your hand or glove over the lock lever forcing it to close and lock when squeezing?

I have to hit the locking mechanism against something hard because it is impossible to do by hand. It really makes me mad. I used a hammer on the locking mechanism once, just to get it off my olympic bar.

You have to push in the little buttons. It's kinda difficult: I push in the one side and lift the barrel, and then push in the other one and it comes off, you need to push the button and pull the barrell at the same time, but don't pull too hard or it might break!

I had the same problem and had to email the company. The combo is set to 0-0-0 and I believe you depress the button and set your desired combo then release the button. However, if that doesn't work, email the company like I did. They responded fairly rapidly.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I just tried working the axis lock with my thumb only, and it's a breeze. You should not have any trouble.

I have found all thebuttons to work, however I tend to only use the shutter release and occ. the selector wheel. The clock mode on the LCD is handy. I made a point to learn what they all are for when I first installed it, but have forgoten them since I dont use them any more. I still love this grip with the extended battery life and relocated shutter release.
