Tonfly 2X+ with loose mounting plate?

[prana185 0]

Hey guys,

I'm very new to camera flying (sorry), and had some extra money to spend (double sorry), so I ordered a Tonfly 2X+ with an anti-twist link to hook up to a Sony CX580V. I love the thing - it's more comfortable than my non-camera helmet, even if I have no idea what I'm doing/filming. However, there is a noticeable vibration in the anti-twist link. First, the post that fits in the camera bottom was too small. I fixed this with some epoxy for the time-being. Also, I think maybe the holes drilled in the side of the link that the retractable pin snaps into are a little too big for the retractable pin, meaning you can wiggle the whole camera/mount once it's snapped into place. Has anyone else had this problem? Like I said, I love this helmet, but if all my video is going to be shaky, then it's kinda defeating the purpose (Is this karma for spending more than getting a gopro?)

Another question - any folks with other sony cameras: do you have more than one "hole" for the mounting post in the bottom of your camera? This one has the screw receiver and one hole, so I just wanted to check.

Thanks for your help, including clever fixes if you've dealt with this before.

the 200 jump minimum doesnt apply to you?

Did you call Sonic? You've done it before, that's how you got the helmet in the fist place, try doing it again.

Since the camera you bought has OIS, it might not be suitable for jumping.

Hey Virgin,
I waited until I had 250 before getting a camera. I just haven't thought to update the profile on here. Thanks for the concern (seriously)

Dave,
I know, I know.. I'm working on a small island off the coast of Australia (not very cool - it's all for oil, and it's rather barren and boring), and there's no phone service. Internet is slower than dialup, so these message boards are the best I can do until I get home. I will call when I get there. I just thought I'd spend some of my time in here to see if anyone else had that problem.
