I am not familiar with your camera, but I am guessing that it is too thick to allow the angle you want. So you need some extension links to get the camera above the mounting plate. There are probably several choices on Amazon, including the "Ball Joint Mount for GoPro Hero and Compatible Action Camera."

I havr had problems with mine love it. Now you do have to adjust camera when installing there is an up and down doesn't atomically ajust right side up maybe try that

I have the same camera, and mine works perfectly, so maybe it is not tight enough, or just defective

Thanks for all the responses. For what it's worth, I'm experimenting placing the camera sideways in the case with the camera handle facing up. I'm using one of the velcro straps, parallel to, and raised a bit from, the bottom to keep the lens from resting on the bottom from the case.

I never had this problem. Try locking it down harder. Honestly, use a pole mount, I have both, you get a better picture.

It could be that a tiny obstacle has entered your camera and caused this, or that the mechanics of the cover have been compromised, or that there's a glitch in the 'computer' workings of the camera. I have seen this in many other makes and models, and if your warranty doesn't cover it then try to manually move it one way or the other. Most likely a spring came loose. Bummer, though.

Yes. Send it back right away. The camera is faulty. Other than that, just to be absolutely sure go into camera settings and reset all to default before you make a final decision.

Just tilt. I bought an extension handle which helps, but I need to tighten it often.

I always hold the tri; pod to steady it. The weight is all on the top.use voice to take pics.hope this is a help. In the pic of the lens it is sideways. There is as set screw on the top for this adjustment Jim

I checked this problem out prior to purchasing this camera. Found this YouTube video on cleaning the dust off the sensor.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_sP4yLf6lAPretty common problem, easy solution.

Hi - I do not think this is "normal" - mine didn't rattle - that sounds to me like the camera has something broken inside. I would return and get a replacement. It may work great now....but what about the future? However, I am no expert. Best of luck

I think I solved the problem by moving the camera lens away from being over the sensor. I found that I had this issue when the lens was over the sensor but not if I adjusted it. Not sure if this helps anyone else.

We've sold quite a few of these units, and in setting them up, there has never been an obvious tilt of the bottom toward the viewer. You might want to double-check that your screws and stand neck were installed correctly. Good luck!

Might be a defect but mine turned out ok. The tail goes to the right causing to spin so I had hovering and adjust trim the transmitter. Turned out to be stable now. If yours tilt it shouldn't do that cause there's no way to adjust it via transmitter.
