When you put it on your belt the camera is very front heavy and torques forward on your belt.How do you overcome this?

Bungee cords! No I only put it on a backpack shoulder strap for that reason

Peak design also sells a separate part they recently came up with to address this problem. It is called the "pro pad stabilizer". I have one now and appreciate it very much.

Not exactly sure. I used it on a backpack strap. I would try sone type of small foam wedge behind the lens to force it away from your body. If I am not mistaken I believe the manufacturer sell something along these lines.

With a utility belt. I bought one from Amazon that seems to work pretty well. It's the same kind of thing the police use to hold all of their heavy equipment.

You wouldn't want to do that, even if you could. The camera is very exposed that way and it would be impossible to get your camera out quickly. To unhitch your camera from the patented slot, you have to twist the camera on its bracket axis ... then lift it up. You could not do this if it was on your back.

Detach the floating part from the lower part (squeeze and slide out). My camera has a a little notch to thread a strap through, then you pull it back in on itself. Just like any other camera strap.

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.

Hi Charles,I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the Dash Cam release. It is a very tight fitting mechanism, so I can understand your dilemma. Releasing the camera from the mount just takes a little practice. As you know, the camera snaps into place when fitted into the mount. Therefore, it does take a little bit of force to "un-snap" the camera from the mount. Just make sure to squeeze the little lever that is on the mount closest to the camera before sliding the camera off of the mount. This will release a lot of the tension and give you the ability to more easily "un-snap" the camera from the mount.I hope this information is helpful. Thanks again for contacting us!

Remove weight or shorten it. If you can't get it more than 2 seconds it's because the camera doesn't weigh enough compared to the bottom of the unit.

There is a adjustable clip lock on the strap that will prevent the camera from swinging forward.

The spider pro holster belt is fully adjustable. I'm a hefty Man, weighing 275 lbs. In cold weather shooting you might find it more difficult to holster your camera if clothing gets in the way. Everything seems to work better when its warm and In the warmer months without all the extra clothing it all works very well. I carry my camera in the holster on the ATV all the time and it works well. It works far better than using a strap.

Not quite sure what clip you are referring to but if it's the clip that locks in the strap length, then yes you should lock it. The weight may have to do with how you are wearing it; I recommend that you experiment with different positions. One word of caution: you must frequently tighten the screw that holds the strap to the camera. The other day, as I was hiking, my camera fell onto the ground because the screw was loose. BAD BAD BAD.

If you tighten down the screw with an Alan key (any hardware store/scuba guide should have one handy) then it should keep the camera pointed straight. If all you did was finger tighten then it'll probably slip.

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.

If you gave a strap then your good, you can slid it through back of camera mount like a belt through pants. I have made differt mounts for it and you can get a mount kit for it for about 5 bucks, it's no go pro but I have been nothing less then impressed.

It's never been an issue for me. When the camera's at rest on the strap, gravity keeps the camera down and thus no scratching, likewise when you're holding the camera, gravity keeps the clip down. I suppose the clip might rub against the camera when you're holding the camera sideways for portraits, but there's no real force being applied to the clip and scratching's never happened. I know where your concerns are coming from though: those reviews of people vigorously rubbing the clip against the camera...but this never happens in real life--at least in my experience.

To be honest with you you can't. Sorry. And even if you could the camera would be upside down. The only solution to that is To make a slot on the other side of the oh you can flip it around

Mine does not do this... did you by the whole camera or just the shell? Mine is pretty heavy and I love it!!

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.
