Did any one have to do any sanding? My mount doesn't fit a d3200 shoe. It's off by half a mm

I do not have a D3200 but mine fit (I have 4 of them) in my EOS and Olympus bodies without any issue.

It fit two Pentax dSLRs, and my Nikon P7100 as shipped. I am more suspicious of a manufacturing variation than a shoe variation between camera brands.

When I got mine shipped, it didn't have the shoe mount included even though it said it was. I had to file a grievance with Amazon

Personally I have the D5200 and at first it didn't fit. However, all I needed to do was remove the small piece on the edge that normally would be seated against the back of the camera to make it flush. After that the base was just flat and I was able to use it with no problem.

I have a D3100 but I use the bracket. I may be untrained because I canr get it to mount on mine.

No idea as I shoot D800 Nikon. The plate is adjustable left and right underneath the camera. So shift it to the left to get more clearance. Use a tool to make sure the L-plate is reasonably snug by tightening the 1/4-20 screw. If the plate twists on the camera it is too loose. Don't tighten it so much it damages the camera. You might also check at cyberguys.com for a special USB cable with a special end to plug into the camera. You might find a 90 degree USB connector which would help. If you are willing to spend the money, buy a Really Right Stuff or Kirk L-bracket custom made for your camera. The price will be about 2x the Desmond cost. No idea as I shoot D800 Nikon.

I had to return this flash; it did not fit onto my Sony a7r. I'm not sure if it was defective or a packaging error, but the shoe mount was not like the one shown on the box. It was very disappointing.

I bought several of these for our 20D's and 30D's, and never had a problem. I'd guess either you received a broken one, or perhaps you need to clean your connectors in the camera?

If you can find your tripod brand and model number that should be the criteria you use to look for a new shoe, IMO. However, I know that may not be available. Also, there are "ears" that stick out in the middle of this shoe so it is not a perfectly rectangular shape. I'm not sure how to give an accurate measurement and don't want to give bad info on that. Sorry, I know that's not much help.

I put some electrical tape around the post and helps. It's just very disappointing for something you pay so much for. In comparison, I bought the Zeikos for my D90 and it doesn't have the same issue. Oh, and I paid only 50 bucks for it.

I had no issues with mine. If it got put on a little cock-eyed and the threads aren't lined up right, it could seem stuck. I wish I could help. Maybe a local camera store could give you more help without ruining your threads. Good luck.

I just attached the Off Camera Shoe Cord and speedlite to my tripod. It works well, I have no complains.

I had to grind down the finger knurling on my tool to fit between the diamond outer aperture. Works fine now... Still works for other sights too.

I didn't have any problem, but as I took it apart I laid it out in the same order that I took it apart. Then put the new one back the same way. I also took a photo with my camera before I started. The new part works great. The repair shop was going to charge me $60 to replace my part. Glad I did it myself. Good Luck. Ray

Hi Sandy, I bought two of these unit and were very happy with my purchase. The unit has a cold shoe to mount on a camera and under the cold shoe is a 1/4 inch screw hold to mount on a stand. Caution, order way before you need it. One out of the two I bought had a broken mount. I was able to fix it. Aaron.

Contact the company. I had a packaging issue with my mount and they were super in fixing the problem. When you contct the company, they will have someone call you back. Quick response.

I bought another brand (azden?) to use as an external mic and the shoe did not fit. Instead of clicking it on, we just had to have people hold the receiver. I assume the shoe on this camera only fits the Canon brand ones. Hope that helps!

I got my d800e and the first thing I noticed when I took it out of the box was the rattle. I held the strap rings and shook the camera and found out it came from the flash. I posted about it in another forum and was told it was normal and indeed it is because it's from the metal support that holds the flash up. No need to worry. Only thing to worry about is the left AF issue and the 10-pin connector going limp on you :).
