Has Canon addressed the problem of the loose adapter permitting the angle finder to fall off the camera?

Yes, David. But I completely fixed that issue with my 3 adapters, by applying black flocking adhesive paper (like the kind that astronomers use inside their telescopes) around the inside if the adapter.

I'm not sure what the weight and center of balance issues might be on your Canon, but it looks like it falls within the weight parameters. I'm using it with a Flip HD and it was too light so I had to purchase an adaptor to raise center of gravity. Works great. I added an outrigger to add additional stability. bought parts at a hardware store for less than $5! You can call Hague in England ( customer Service) for specific questions on your Canon! Good Luck

I found the same to be the issue I had as well as the charging connect becoming loose. If you just received the camera I would try to return it. The one I had worked for two months then it stopped. I caulked it up to lesson leaned

We fixed the problem by using a tripod mounting screw with a hanger to the bottom of the camera, then using a floating camera strap.

I have not had this problem yet. I guess it could happen, but not on my Canon Rebel yet.

I have the same issue. I use it at work and mine falls off with the touch of a butterfly. The adapter also doesn't power the receiver unless I wiggle it a few times.

The threaded metal part mounted to the case MUST rotate to secure it to the camera. If it doesn't , the case is defective. Force it. You have nothing to lose. Good luck.

With adapters, one must be sure the camera is set to "Release without lens". This is found in the settings menu. If that does not work, I have no suggestions.

Not an issue for me. Are you sure you have the standard U.S. tripod mount threads? If not, you may need an adapter available from most camera supply stores.

It works in the camera's regular battery compartment, if that's what you mean. The part of the adapter that's shaped like a battery fits in the camera where the battery would normally go. To emerge from the camera, the cable threads through a slot in the battery compartment in a way that's not entirely intuitive, and the adapter comes with no instructions. However, the camera's original manual (at least in the case of the Canon 20D) does show where that cable should go.

O. Leparra I have an A75 that is doing the same thing. Out of nowhere the lens refuses to retract fully. I called Canon Owner Loyalty Program and they are taking it in trade for an SD1000 and $100.00. You might be able to trade up as well.

There are small allen head set-screws on either side of the camera piece which lock the angle. You have to loosen then to move it and then tighten to lock it back.

I have a Canon that i bought it for. It unraveled and I was unable to ever use it. :(

The adapter does allow you to use the full function of the Canon lenses. The mount was some what loose and could possibly loose contact with the pins. This is annoying and was the reason I returned the item. I heard that some people received a better fitting adapter that did not have the play I experienced. The Canon version does not have this issue. Quite a price difference but I really like the Canon one better because of the fit issue.

Hi the one I got actually got stuck in the camera and didn't fit right. We had to break the adapter ring to get it out and it almost damaged the lens.

Call canon or email. This happen to one of my older power shot when i went to the Philippines when it is always hot and very humid. They repair it or they will replace it as long as you did not drop it.
