Purchased this week. One works. The other NOT.The cam lock on the top section does NOT tighten enough to lock. Will NOT tighten/lock. Tried. Ideas?

You may need to adjust the lock tensioning nut. This is the Nylock nut on the opposite end of the locking lever on the collar assembly. With the locking lever in the locked position, tighten the Nylock nut with a nut driver until there is enough friction to prevent the stand tube from moving. At this point you should be able to release the locking lever (about a quarter turn ) and the stand tube should move freely. Ive attempted to attach a photo but I don't thing this messaging service will allow it. Good Luck!

If you unplug the cord to the camera, and then replug it in it will work again. It's beyond frustrating that it happens when it feels like it with no warning, but it's a quick fix until we find out why.

I had a similar issue after about the first week; there are couple of set screws (2 in each I believe) in each of the mounts that you can tighten. It worked for me. I hope this helps.

I am sorry you are having issues with your reloader. I pulled mine out to check them and they both work just fine. I did notice that if a cartridge is not seated flat and is sitting at an angle in the loader it will sometimes not want to lock, so I just jiggle the loader a little and turn the knob as I am doing this and it locks right up. I don't know what else for you to try. I hope this helps.

Same issue with my Sony cam. Get the error message but I continue and use it, in spite of the error message. Works OK but is quite irritating. Haven't had the failure yet, hope i don't. Seems Sony has a proprietary card format, and as you probably know they are very proud of their cards. (expensive) I would suggest that you bite the bullet and pay the Sony price to ensure you don't have a camera failure.Good luck with your issue!

Mine locks but the locking cable has loosened. Does anyone have experience tightening it?

Hello, your question: " how the cam is held in place..is it a simple screw (Phillips head or straight edge?) or is it with washer and nut? " The cam has a washer with a nut, once you install it the nut secures it in place. I hope that this response helps you on your decision. Regards !

Thanks for the reply. I understand it may be us, not the camera, although I've never had this problem with any other camera. May have to play with the white balance to correct the problem, at least that's what Panasonic told me. Two camera stores couldn't figure it out. Shouldn't be so complicated!

Mine works fine, never had either of them fall out. Maybe you can get a replacement or refund..........hopefully.

I ended up returning mine because I ran into the same problem - went to home depot got a really cheap one in white and it locked immediately. I think this design is super flawed- the one in my house wouldn't lock, I bought this one it still wouldn't lock. Bad batch I assume!

Haven't had any problems with my unit. Maybe going over the instructions again, making sure you have the correct model for your camera, batteries are good, and making sure cords are fully inserted would help. Also you could look at the reviews to see comments made that may help you.

Mr. Ward, I can not find a lock device for the Camco tripod either. I have searched the web and have found nothing available. I will continue looking!Jerry

I didn't have any issues at all, my wife was able to lock in/lock out pretty easily. Might be defective piece.

I hadn't tested mine either, until I got the e-mail. I just tested both and one works but the other does not. I switched the batteries around several time because I was afraid it might have been the collar. The battery does not, sorry to say.

Hi! I'll look at mine again. I think the previous answer was right, I think I remember directions being in the wrong order. Sometimes, I don't know if this is helpful or not, the spring is the key to making it work right. If the spring isn't installed correctly it won't hold open or shut what it needs to. What is the exact problem you're having? Shutter won't close or open?

I've had no issues with the one I received. It locks and maintains a strong conection. I've used it out in the ocean during choppy water. Perhaps you got one that is defected, and it needs to be replaced. Wishing you happy holidays.
