How to Fix A Loose Hot Shoe On Any Canon Camera. Canon wiggly hot shoe fix tutorial.

[@JulianGuevaraphoto]

My flash wasn’t working and I was absolutely stumped during tonight’s wedding, luckily I carry two camera bodies with me so that saved me. It wasn’t till I got home just now to study what’s going one and found out my hot shoe is loose. Your video was first to pop up! Your a life saver!!!!

[@TheGustafl]

Thank you. I have been annoyed by the loose flash shoe on my EOS 650 for 30 years! Finally fixed in two minutes. Awesome!

[@lawrencedorsey9923]

Your video saved me $400. I was ready to buy another used 1DS mark II to use with my strobes, cause my hotshoe didn't work. Your video solved the problem. Thanks.

[@vanessacoetzee7452]

Omg that was so easy, thank you so much!!!! I literally nearly rented another camera for a shoot tomorow because I didn't have time to take mine in for repairs... You saved me so much money! :) huge thank you!

[@FilipeCardosofc]

DUDE YOU ARE AN ANGEL IN MY LIFE! I have a big job in an hour and that litterally just saved me! worked perfectly on my 6D, but i didnt have the locktite, so i just tighten the scrools and it worked. thanks man!

[@chrischiversphoto]

Absolute legend!! I'm working in an hour and was stressing HARD that I'd have to make do or use my crop sensor camera. THANK YOU!

[@dongordonphoto]

That works on my 1DX MKII - but it doesn't work on the R5 - the screws are tightened from inside the camera - in other words the camera has to be almost completely disassembled to tighten those screws from the inside - Canon really screwed up the design with their R series cameras

[@daspdg]

My hot is completely removed from the r5 I owned now I don't know what to do.

[@alwynsmit3546]

Nikon as well. Wanted to buy a D700 & had to walk away from the sale as the plate was bent. If it was an easy fix, I would have bought it. Unfortunately half the camera needs to be taken apart for something so minuscule

[@jeanettecourtney364]

THANK YOU!!!! The hot shoe on my Canon Rebel Xti has been loose for years and as the photographer for a small summer camp, I really need it to work. I thought I was finally going to have to buy a new camera, which I can't really afford right now, because the local camera repair shop is no longer in business and there's nowhere else local. I don't have any Locktite on hand and the hardware store is an hour away, but I was able to tighten the screws for now and will get some next time I go to town, or maybe on Amazon. Woo hoo, back in business!

[@mahmoudaga]

Thanks, where can i find those tiny screws, mine is broken and i need replacement, what size?

[@Michelle-qn9bd]

I screwed up. Flash wasnt popping up. I looked up a YT video, but I was over zealous & removed one to many screws to the point of maybe no return. The two little swing arms & left spring are loose. Have you done the same? I just wanted to clean the dust from the crevices. Yes. I am upset with myself.

[@PossMcLeod]

Any idea how to do this on an EOS R5?? I fixed my old 1D and 5D's no problem, but after getting a loose hot shoe last night on my R5 I pulled the top plate off this morning and there are NO SCREWS on the R5! Not sure WHY they would do this, but now I'm stuck having to work out how to get it fixed at short notice before a gig this afternoon. NOT HAPPY JAN!

[@jadie1234a]

My R5 is jiggly too.

[@claudiutoader5938]

For R5 and R6 canon has incorporated a different design unfortunately... the screws are inside the camera, you need to send it in for repairs. it involves removing parts of the camera. it seems to be a design problem, there are a lot of reports of this problem with r5 and r6. i know someone that had his camera repaired by canon and after 6 monts the screws came loose again...design issue

[@PossMcLeod]

@@claudiutoader5938 Yeah I found some vids that showed the process, but I was like yeah nah, not doing that lol. And I'm not paying to send my cam away only to have it potentially happen again, so pissed off. I now only use my R5 for Video and daytime no flash photos. Oh what great value for a $7K camera lol. Canon I want my money back

[@claudiutoader5938]

@@PossMcLeod they should do a recall on this problem and fix it for free, the reports about it its growing...

[@PossMcLeod]

@@claudiutoader5938 Amen! I'll vote for that hey lol

[@Rndmpacman]

Off topic but: I saw your earlier videos on partnering with a company to custom design your own yoyo. I was wondering if you could describe the process and your experience in a longer video?

[@juanshot48]

What size screws are those?

[@sew742]

What can you do if all the screws seem stripped?

[@edwardkay1954]

Thank you very much for this video. Fixed my hot shoe on 6D right up!

[@artdoneus]

Bro same!!!!! I was having issues with this for the longest time!!!

[@shannonhales9137]

Can I can what are those small circle/electrical components of the camera called? My camera seems to be missing the top/bigger circle and I was wondering how that could be fixed? Please

[@dikpuiatlau2583]

Hey dude what glue did you use...

[@noway8224]

Does anyone know the size of these screws?

[@robdude1969]

crap!! my R5 hotshoe is screwed from the bottom!!! WTF?!?!?!

[@robdude1969]

I sent it in for warranty repair to canon. It took about a week. Good luck to you all!

[@timwilliams632]

Does anyone know the screw size?

[@chessoptics]

this is a different model and the screws are inverted on the 6D mark ii. The heads are underneath the top cover that need to be tightened.this technique will not work

[@davidhart7313]

I lost the metal cover with the ramps on it. Didn’t think anything of it but blew my speed lights flash tube while using it without . Is that a coincidence?

[@mimikeny]

FYI this does not work for the Canon 90D! Hotshoe is screwed on from the inside of the camera...

[@sammybrosnan62]

thanks bro xxx

[@sammybrosnan62]

by the way, you might wanna put "loose mic holder" in your video tags cause that's how I found you

[@ared18t]

You'd assume they would do this in the factory.

[@mosvisuals]

Transition was a little slow ngl but maybe next time speed it up a bit by 1.5x
