Does the little black peg retract or is it fixed? I don't have a hole in bottom of my camera that would match that peg

Yes, the little black peg does retract; but you still need a hole in the bottom of your camera to use the screw mount for the tripod.

Yes it does retract and the platform fits either way, at least on my tripod.

Sorry I can not help you with the camera mount screw, but I have the similar problem with one of the leg section rings. On my second use (the first use was in my house to try it out-the next day in the field) the ring seems stripped and the leg keeps collapsing Because it was an outdoor use in the sand, the company was not supportive of my report of damaged/inferior product.

there are two camera mounts; one on either side of the center tripod mount. On each camera mount, there is a handle which loosens and tightens the mount. To loosen it, rotate the handlecounter-clockwise. The camera mount can then slide in either direction. Also note that the thread is the larger mounting thread - if you unscrew it, you will find a smaller thread underneath it. If you still have a question, let me know and perhaps I can make a quick youtube video to help demonstrate. David

The ball is is loosened or locked by turning the larger knob on the pedestal. Be gentle you don't have to throttle or muscle it. Counter-clockwise on the knob to loosen, clockwise to tighten.The pedestal itself can be loosened/tightened for rotation with the smaller knob that is attached to the pedestalComment: This is a simple task.Read the instructions if these efforts can not be figured out upon taking out of the box . Take 5 minutes to tinker with it before you mount your camera get angry and start throwing things; something I do not recommend :). Merry Christmas!

the camera slot is in the middle and your camera is to the side,so that is a problem .Other slots may not align,do check that.

there are two small allen screws on the top of the frame on each side of the camera. loosen them slightly and adjust the angle- then retighten

It is not a defect, it's simply a spring loaded flash. There's no ability for the camera to retract it. In fact, I don't think I've seen a model like this retract its own flash.

I used mine for the first time yesterday and mine broke off as I was putting it on to my camera. It looked like it had been tampered with. To know that yours has broken off too makes me feel they are selling used or faulty equipment.

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.

I own two of these, and there is a hook on one of the legs. I noticed it yesterday when I took the tripod out to film.

if there is a hole in the side, the only thing that I can think of is that that space is intended for one of the buttons to control the camera and it possibly broke in transit or prior to shipment? If it is in fact the waterproof housing that your link which you provided in your question pointed to, there's definitely something wrong.

The screw will fit, but I am not sure if the rubber gasket will get in the way of the screen closing. I highly doubt it, but it may be possible. Also look into tethering the joby strap to the strap loop of the camera with something like a shoe lace just in case the gasket comes loose and the screw comes undone when you least suspect it. After three days of all day use it slowly came undone because I was a fool and didn't check to see if it was screwed on tightly and my camera fell to the ground. Any strap that attaches to the tripod mount has a possibility of doing this. Great strap though.

I returned mine, but yes the screw does come off so u can just use the bottom part on the camera and connected to the strap

After playing with the case for a little bit - you have to really make sure the velcro that keeps the tablet inside the case lines up just right with itself. After putting the case on correctly, both sides of the camera line up perfectly.I'm sorry I forgot to change my review!!

Sorry you are having issues... unlock the knob on the side, and push in the button on the other side when you slide it out. It actually should slide out either way. Many of these plates come with extra screws for your camera and generally they store them under the plate, usually screwed in. It's possible that maybe one of them loosened and is preventing your plate form coming out. Try turning over the whole thing and maybe that will create a gap to get your plate out. I have 4 of these, and at work we have another 6. I haven't had any issues, so hopefully this isn't a common problem. Hope that helps, good luck!

If it fits into the hole, you should be reasonably assured it will come out again. The camera is just under 15mm in diameter and should easily enter and exit a 5/8" hole.The back end is tapered to the cord, which comes right out of the center of the back end. The cord is stiff enough that the camera starts to upright itself as it comes to the hole. There is a little ledge where the cord enters the back of the camera, so it will hang on a sharp edge a little. But a little tug and wiggle is all that's needed to get past that.
