The clip swivels to easily. I tried wrapping rubber bands around it. How else to fix it?

My clip does not swivel at all, nor would I want it to. Maybe yours is just defective?

Mine seems to work just fine. Maybe there is a defect with yours? It does not have a strong lock, which makes my phone easily accessible, but yet my phone has never fall out of its case.

If you're trying to lock it in a position so that it doesn't swivel side to side (one of the features that it does very well), then you'll need to do some work to it. Depending on your level of handiness, that can range from a good, strong epoxy (after cleaning both the barrel and the stem very well with alcohol), or drilling a small hole through the base and into the stem, then inserting a cotter pin or screw to hold it in place. Hope that helps.

I don't remember it having a swivel on it. I just remember the clip was permanently attached to the back of the camera

I had trouble too; the clips that are present fit okay, the others you need rubber bands or something to lay them on, unfortunately.

I just tried to move it to do just that & it does swivel. I love mine. It lasted almost 4 years before it developed a leak. I'm having a new one installed in the next few weeks.

Unfortunately the holder does not swivel on the clip. You would have to move the visor in order to get motion.

The belt clip can't be removed. It does swivel right and left. That to me I like do to I always have my shirt tucked in for work.

I agree with dgminer and William Costley - it took a lot of force for me to get the socket of the clip securely onto the ball of the friction mount. The GPS will still vibrate a little, especially if you pivot it up off the base. I keep mine fairly low on the base to prevent this.

Try the smaller rubber band, if not, a little adhesive backed rubber like you may find at a hardware or craft store may help.

Yes, it is normal. It's not screwed in. It's held in with clips and 2 "o" rings. This allows it to swivel and nothing will unscrew.

The clip should lock the two poles together with the "point" of the pole facing the bottom. It sounds like the clip may be broken. I would return it for a new one.

The best fix is the Linkage adjustment, but you stated you've tried that. Be sure to adjust as far as you can on the linkage. If this does not seem to fix it, try buying a new swashplate on eBay; they are cheap and easy to install. Good luck.

The belt clip swivels but is not removeable. But I will say I do fell very safe with the Otterbein In my pocket, without clip attachment.

There should be some bolts with locking nuts on them at the swivel joints. I have had to loosen those just a very small amount. Also I have just moved it by hand to limber it up.

I had the same problem and emailed the company. The caps at the end of the swivel actually come off. I thought they were molded metal but they are plastic. Pop them them off and tight them. Good luck.

I haven't bent mine so all I can say is give it a try, what have you got to lose? I don't know that clips are serviced separately but I would still take a shot at repair or contacting the manufacturer to see if they would repair it for you.

Simplest way to fix it is to put a strap on it tie it down tight. Mine does sway, but I don't worry about it.
