Supergeil 0 #1 February 4, 2007 Just got my Schumacker quick shoe mount from paragear wanted it because of the low weight instead of the stroboframe and goldmember. And when i got it all mounted on my helmet the hole camera could move 2-3mm from side to side....not good for a still photo Found out that the problem was a little gab between the baseplate and the mountingplate on about ½-1mm. Wrote to paragear and asked if that could be right and the answer was....yes that was normal on all movable release. I put two layers of tape on the base and that fixed the problem, so the permanent solutions is going to be a thigh layer of paint to fill the gab. But I am pretty pissed to pay 95dollar for a precision work that is far from precision in my world! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zee 0 #2 February 5, 2007 Good reason to get a Stroboframe - works like a charm and it really doesn't weigh that much.... Action©Sports Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pilotdave 0 #4 February 5, 2007 Get it replaced... Mine has a TINY bit of movement, but nothing like what you're talking about. I don't think mine moves enough to make any difference (for skydiving). Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Sounds like I got a monday model Will post Paragear and ask them to replace it and hopefully I can keep it meanwhile so I still can jump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #7 February 5, 2007 I'd recommend returning it altogether and buying another from Miami (http://web.mac.com/miami78/iWeb/Site/Schumacher%20QuickShoe.html). You'll save $20, and he won't tell you it's supposed to do that. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Well was pleased to deal with Paragear and a monday model isn't their fault they are at the Symposium until next week and looking forward to hear from them and get some value for the extra 20$Otherwise your suggestion is the way to go I think.
