does this come off the camera as easily as the factory supplied dk-21 (normal) that comes with the camera? (i've already lost 3 of them)

I have never had an eyepiece come off inadvertently, but I can say the DK-21M seemed very tightly adherring when I installed it. I have since given the camera to my son and have not heard of any problems from him eitherr.

I have had one on my D7100 for around 4 months now and it has never fallen off. It snaps on securely in my opinion.

It goes on very tight, you clip it in and then screw it down. It never snagged or broke off for me and i'm pretty rough on my camera. It definitely wouldn't come off without you noticing.

Sounds like the quick release plate. Same thing happened to me. You have to loosen the part that the plate goes over, and I believe theres a small hole that the spring fits into. Just take a close look at the part that the camera goes directly over the top of, you should be able to find it. Pretty much the only way to avoid that problem is to not loosen the side of the slider too much, as there is nothing to keep that spring from flying out like that.

You don't NEED to have a quick release... however, if you have to take the camera off the tripod quickly, the release is nice rather than having to unscrew it from the monopod.

I have not had the need to take it off. But the underside tape is 3m tape. Once i had applied i couldnt shift it to line it up better. So line it up with the camera before applying.

Hi Charles, I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the Dash Cam release. It is a very tight fitting mechanism, so I can understand your dilemma. Releasing the camera from the mount just takes a little practice. As you know, the camera snaps into place when fitted into the mount. Therefore, it does take a little bit of force to "un-snap" the camera from the mount. Just make sure to squeeze the little lever that is on the mount closest to the camera before sliding the camera off of the mount. This will release a lot of the tension and give you the ability to more easily "un-snap" the camera from the mount. I hope this information is helpful. Thanks again for contacting us!

I never put it on the camera. A camera with glue on accessories? Plus the ergonomics of the camera are really poor, but shooting 20 M images at6400 ASA that produces nice prints makes up for it till something better comes out. The filter kit is glue on, so I didn't use it either--kid stuff... Case won't fit with grip on the camera. The view finder fell off in the middle of the shoot, but didn't break. It's great a professional back up camera, but I would not take this as my primary camera for a paying gig....

I have it on 3 D300, 1 D300S, and 2 D7100 bodies. It came off one of the D300 bodied with an 18-200 on it. I hate to over tighten these or tripod screws, so I check them often. The person who did have it come loose, said they had not checked it, inspite of my warning. Hope that answers your question.

This works very well for me. I have 2 of them. I keep one screwed into my camera body and into the Tripod ring on my 100-400. This way I never have to remove them. I have been using them for about 2 years now and have never had them come loose. The biggest key is to get the lock washer in place correctly. It is a really tight fit. I had to use a needle nose pliers to do it. Hope this helps.

Just as a FYI. I have had a lot of problems with the cameras loosing signa. I'm sure that there is a spec on this from the manufacturer but I would reduce it by 50% as a guideline. If you have a problem with the camera the return policy is pretty bad.... meaning that you pay for shipping. Find another camera supplier.

It does leave a mark on the camera. You have to be careful putting it on.I personally haven't used the kit since about a week after I got it.

I am certainly glad that you asked this question. What the issue is with this device is that it does not tighten up enough and it slides out the clip on top of the camera, which in turn causes the lights, or what ever you have on it to fall completely off the camera. I have been meaning to call and complain about this and in hopes that you could replace it with a better fitting device.

It is very simple. Just be patient and take your time. Be careful when you get near the camera area as it has little wires you can sever. Besides that just pry it off and put on the new one.

Yes, there is. First attach your camera to the Gear Box, and then screw your quick release into one of the threads on the bottom of the Gear Box. It will be slightly offset, and it will cover up the screw holding the camera in place, but it works just fine.It creates an extra step if you are swapping cameras, but it's still very quick.

You twist and slide camera out of clip but keep camera tethered for safety. Straps are long enough to keep them tethered. I did out c hooks on my camera so I can take the neck strap off when using the harness and easily reattach it when necessary.

The back of the metal plate has adhesive on it. Just peal and stick. It seems to come off pretty clean. I replaced onto another camera with no problems. DO NOT SCRAPE ANY RESIDUE OFF. If there is a little residue, put a little WD40 on a paper towel and gently wipe it off. Good luck.
