I can't get my ball head tighten enough to hold my camera. T3i

After buying this product I took it as a lost. I have a canon 70d with a battery grip. Can you explain your problem a little more. The problem I have with it is that the bottom never threads enough onto the screw (on my slider). As a result it wobbles from side to side. But in terms of hold the camera it does just that once I turn the only nob available

The t3i isnt a heavy camera. I used it with my d7000 and a heavier leans without an issue.

Make sure the "patch cord" is connected between the grip and the side of the camera base. If it still doesn't work it may be the grip is malfunctioning.

Purchase a hot shoe that can screw onto the mic if the mic has a spot for it. The mic I have has a "hotshoe" so it slides right into the bracket as does my constant light. Definitely works. I use it often since I have a T3I so I don't use the built in mic (too loud).

Try going to the custom menu and turning on Shoot w/o Lens. The lens is manual and the camera cannot use automatic settings.

A small allen wrench was included in the box. On one of the upper corners of the actual camera housing there is a small hole. Insert the allen wrench into the hole and loosen it. Adjust it to the angle you want and then tighten it.

The case directions suggest holding it lengthwise (camera on left, home button on right) and popping the top two corners out from that position, one in each hand. I've had success putting my four fingers on the back and thumbs on the case corners and pressing that way.

By turning the ball head 90 degrees. That will put it off axis. Buy a L mount for your model which will keep the ball head in line on axis but spins your camera.

No, the connections aren't oriented in the correct direction. Search on "canon t3i battery grip" and you'll find one's that will work on your T3i.

I'm having this issue, too. Camera seems to get confused and the whole frame becomes blurry rather than focusing on the one object. It takes several attempts to register what I'm trying to do, and then it's too late - opportunity has passed and subject has moved. Time to really study my manual I guess or maybe this is a shortcoming with this camera.

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.

You should use a hex key. I was able to tighten it by hand but it would be more secure with the key. Alternatively, You can just use the normal screw that comes with the camera. Not sure why they felt the need to change it up here because I found that the screw works just fine.

There is a removable plate on the top of the ball head (remove by pressing the side button). This plate should mount on any standard camera with the screw that extends through the mounting plate. Once mounted to the camera, the camera will slide and lock into position on top of the ball head. If the screw does not fit into the camera, either the camera is defective/non-standard or the mounting plate could have some sort of thread defect. I had no such issues with my purchase.

All I can think of is you might need to try "rebooting". There is a tiny hole in the bottom of the camera (inside the place where you would screw in a tripod). Try sticking a paper clip in the tiny hole a push for about 5-10 seconds. Mine has frozen before and that resets it. Do that, then try hooking it back up to your computer.

I have the same problem. I just received Canon lens adapter for Canon S3IS. It doesn't fit. There isn't any way to attach it.

no, the t3i is a physically larger camera body, so the controls will not line up.

Hi! I bought it for my T3i and it doesn't even fit into the hole! Help please!
