I thiink the flag gets A++ but I'm concerned about the easy-to-break connector. Has the mfg company responded at all?

I have emailed them twice and have not heard back. Very bummed! I read about this piece breaking on others but figured there's was broken with a lot of force so, being it was exactly what I was looking for I unfortunately took the chance and it broke on me too.

I have several of these on as many bikes. Some electric, some gas, some regular. Works at speed pretty well. Had one come out of the socket and lost it and broke one socket also. I wrapped one in nylon string and coated with epoxy as it goes on the back of a car hitch carrier. Also, to prevent any loose socket connections, both ends can be coated with fingernail polish. Hope this helps.

The response was that they don't have replacements. I used a plastic plumbing tube that fit the fiberclass poles. Had enough left over to replace the second flag connector that broke shortly after the first.

I strongly reccomend not to deal with amazon for that matter. There is different types of connectors and Amazon often suggest the uncorrect one.

I think thats probably a manufactorer question. I have had no issues with mine.

I never had a problem, it just screwed right in. I just unscrewed it to check: the bottom part definitely has threads on the outside of the pole part and the middle pole has threads on the inside. Must be defective. :( Have them send you another.

Not that I know of. Something similar happened to me. I went to a local bike shop and bought a whole flag set. I cannibalized part of it to restore the original set - the original flag is of much greater quality than the newer one. I spent about $10.

I think so. A little trick to wiring it,however. Another user inclued a picture that solves it easily. A "Duh...," issuer.Enjoy

mines work great as well.anyways if the gold tip came of it may be manufacturing defect what i could advise is take some pics of it and let them know it was a defect of the cable cause these things happen and you would not intentionally break it of it works great,thats what i could advise u to do let me no how it works out sorry for the late responce

I am responding but I am not the company, I bought this cord. I felt like it did break pretty quickly and I was planning to order a stronger one.

No issue on this LE. I had deliberately rotated the connector to check its continuity. So far no issue at all.

Hello Frank,The connector doesn't click in place, but the fit is usually snug. If you still see metal when you connect it, go ahead and wrap it in electrical tape.Nathanielwww.FortressSecurityStore.com

I had to have one fabricated by a local shop. While the connectors are not in themselves generic, the combination is unusual and I couldn't find one online. I noted that one of the other answers said something about the company being good about answering. This has not been my experience at all.

I had a similar issue, and it turned out that a cable inside had snapped. I called the manufacturer and purchased a replacement cable for about $7. It was easy to install, and certainly worth the cost/effort.

Their help desk support people are great and I suggest you give them a call. It sounds like you are doing everything correctly that is why I suggest you give them a call. If you do not have their number just go on line and look up support Sewell Hammerhead VGA to HDMI and you find the number once you get on their site or I would think is it with the material they sent you originally if you kept it.

Ehh, I bought one, but had to monkey-rig, re-tap the top ball.If I went to Home Depot I could have probably gotten the correct thread, but I pieced togehter what I had. The problem is that the socket/thread on the top of the pole is a non-standard thread (Coarse v Fine). I somehow got it to work. Not 'textbook' but i like the flagpole in all other ways that I ignore this problem :(

i bought this piece for my brother in law and took it to Turkey... I believe he also had issues with the adapters but was able to solve the issue. I know he is very handy and I dont know the details of the solution... I am sorry this is not going to be much of help...

No, this is NOT a quick disconnect like you would see on a higher end model. I just got mine yesterday. It does the job, but.... I've used a two-wire setup from Pacific Coast Labs that truly has a quick disconnect from the adapter. In this model, if you the small screw applied to really keep it in place, then its even LESS of a 'quick disconnect'.
