Does anyone else have problem with tightening the flash rail tight enough? I tighten it as much as I can and the flash is loose and can wiggle out.

The only problem I have had is also with the screw that tightens the rod from the light stand.

I have the same problem but, funny enough, not with the rail itself, which is quite tight on mine, but with the screw that tightens where the rod from the light stand is inserted.

I am certainly glad that you asked this question. What the issue is with this device is that it does not tighten up enough and it slides out the clip on top of the camera, which in turn causes the lights, or what ever you have on it to fall completely off the camera. I have been meaning to call and complain about this and in hopes that you could replace it with a better fitting device.

Garry, I haven't run across this problem with mine.....This may sound silly, but are you sure you have the correct X-Tender for your particular flash? They come in different sizes for different flashes. Other than that I don't have any suggestions except maybe be sure your Fresnel lens is facing the correct way.....Sorry I can't be of more help.

mine is really loose and just pulls apart. They look like they're supposed to be twisted together but mine i just push the wide angle off with my thumb. Sorry, can't be of much help, but try pushing it!

Unfortunately it does interfere with the flash. I recently switched to a slimmer Cruzerlite case.

I have the same camera, and mine works perfectly, so maybe it is not tight enough, or just defective

Yes I am having issues with it. When you take the picture part of the image comes out dark because part of the flash and camera is covered by the case. I bought another case hoping it was defeated but I'm having the same issue and the one they send me has a large slashed on the side where the logo is located

There are two allen wrench screws in the plastic you need to loosen. They are very tiny. I wound up just very carefully tilting the camera by grabbing it and slowly working it down. ( I didn't have aa small enough allen wrench!) Just turn it slow and it should move.

I have not had this happen to me. If you are unsure or un easy about the rattle, either return it for another one or contact Canon to find a repair center.

I've never had a problem with my flash before they enlarged the cutout. If they have made the cutout larger, it must have corrected some issue someone thought they were experiencing. I guess that means 'yes'. :-)

MINE IS ROCK SOLID, i flipped my mounting bolts over to the left side, added a drop per bolt of red locktight and after getting it finger tight i ever so slightly tightened mine down a half turn or so past finger tight with a socket.. mines never budged. Even at finger tight mine was on pretty solid with no play or wiggle, is your rail aftermarket ? is it a el-cheapo or a quality rail ? is a factory rail on a AR ? im guessing the problem is not the optic.. however you never know. do other mounts fit you rail solid without issue ? contact Lucid.. they are flat out awesome to work with !

I have a Canon, and didn't have a problem. Maybe try googling your problem, someone probably has a solution already out there.

Try fiddling with the wheel on the side. On my D90, there is a huge space between the moment it triggers and when it releases. As for lightning trigger, for me it systematically triggers AFTER the lightning has gone.

Buy another brand! My flash quit on me within weeks after the one year warranty was up. Kodak told me to fix it for about $140.00, or give them back the camera for 15% off a purchase ONLY at their Kodak Store. Looks liek another reviewer had the same issue about 1 year to the day! Sorry I could not be more helpful about the repalcement of the bulb in your inquiry, but you are not alone!

Not sure what exactly you mean but I would suggest tightening the light and taping the metal peice that holds the lense in place so it doesn't rattle loose. Also the part where the light snaps into the mount tebds to connect loosely. You could try taping it or permenently gluing it in place in order to fix the loose connection. Also be aware that there is no indicator that warns you of a low battery so always hace it charge over night before you use it. Otherwise you might wind up ob the otherside of town and have the light suddenly go black like I did. Not fun riding along a busy road with no front light. That was an interesting ride home to say the least. I'm just glad it died before I hit the offroad trail around the lake that I had planned on riding around!

I have never had any issues with the flash since using this case and I use my camera fairly often. The opening is quite wide around the camera and flash.

. The problem you might encounter is valcro does not snug enough. I use a wrist band & it secures better to the flash head which cured that problem. I have a Canon 600ex-rt flash.
