Why isn't my lens sticking to my iPad

There is a small metal disc with an adhesive backing that must be attached to the phone or tablet. I had to use a very small amount of silicone glue to keep the disc firmly attached.

Put it around a part of the lens that doesn't move. That area is different for each lens. Another alternative is to attach it to the camera strap.

The lens retracts fully into the body of the camera, then there is a built in lens cover that closes like tiny hangar doors. Keep it in a little neoprene case and it'll be just fine.

First, there's a little pin you need to push to release it. Second, Nikon lenses release in the opposite direction from Canon lenses so make sure you are turning it in the correct direction.

There is a magnet strip that stays forever on your phone around the camera. But the actual lenses do not; you can remove them whenever you want. When you want to attach and use the lens that's when you place it on the magnetic strip to hold. The strip is not that strong, it will hold the lens in place but with too much movement it can fall off.

Mine case is on right and my camera hole is lined up. I never use my iPad to take pictures though as I have a small Cannon and larger Nikon that have great zooms on them. I'm sure I could take a pic with this.

I have had this happen a couple of times on my camera (purchased December 2011). I am not sure why it is getting stuck like that; when it happens for me, the whole camera freezes up. The only way I have found to "un-stick" the lens cover is to pop the battery out and put it back in, which seems to "re-set" things.

Yeah the exact same thing happen to me. I hope the lens it's stuck to is not too expensive. Cause the way I chose to remove it was by forcefully twisting it off. If it's a cheap kit lens a little plastic piece will break off. But the lens will work just fine. It won't destroy it, just modify it a little.

I goggled your camera and from the looks of it, it does not look like it Would work with the iPad TelePrompTer because of where the lens sits. I could be wrong but I don't see it working well with this piece of equipment. Sorry.

The mount is heavy. You need a strong tripod to support the mount and your iPad. You may try.

I put the lens side rearward; since it is leather, it should loosen up; I believe I remember it was tight at first, then perfect after a short while. Also, I use the strap as added protection to keep it from sliding out, and perhaps you can use the same strap, to pull it out until it loosens up.

Mine does the same thing. Not pleased with it at all. It will also come loose form the lens real easy. It just won't stay tightened. Don't know what else to buy. I just quit using it on my tripod. Wouldn't recommend this at all, I give it a 00000000!!

You have to get very close to the subject. I'm talking like less than an inch away. It took me a couple of tries to figure it out. It may help if you take your case off so that the lens is directly on top of the camera lens.

I'm pretty sure they are. But you must know that for the lenses to stay on, you have to stick on the metal rings (washers?) that the lenses come with. The lenses themselves are magnetic and will stick on to the rings over the camera. Depending on what you consider garish or tacky, you might not like the idea of sticking on a shiny metal ring on your iPad. I was fine with it on my iPhone 4. I hope this helps.

I have encountered the same problem and almost thought about returning it. Be patient. It seems that you could not mount your fd lens to the adapter. It is easier to mount fd lens onto the adapter before installing fd lens+adapter to your camera body. There is not mark or dot to line up, so you have to use your eyes. Visually line up the flange of the adapter (on the side with a screw) to flange rail of fd rail. Ensure adapter's flange goes underneath fd lens's flange rail, so a lens can be held firmly onto the adapter. Then turn the adapter clockwise to lock. Good luck.

I have found that it goes on easily in the correct position, but seems to get stuck on the lens when reversed. It has been stuck so bad, that I thought I was going to damage the lens getting it off.

What kind of lens are you using you may have to set the back focus. Or since this is a cheap adaptor it may be too thick for your camera
