@TaylorC What about trying WD-40? That said, if you do, be super-careful to keep WD-40 off the camera lenses. Dan |

Once you get it unstuck,I second a quick release plate. I have these on all my gear. PGYTECH Quick Release Plate +Adapter w/Arcac-Swiss Interface Camera Quick Release Plate Mount for Sony/Nikon/Fuji/DJI Quick Setup Mount w/ 1/4" to 3/8" Screw Thread Gimbles Sliders Tripods Adapter |

OK,I was able to get unstuck. I had to remove the middle post from the tripod, remove the rubber cap at the bottom of the middle post to see inside the post. There is a bolt head at the base of the middle of where the camera rests. This bolt is a 13mm and you will need at the least a 12" extension of a socket wrench. Doing this will remove the middle post from the camera leaving the plate on the camera. I will be getting a quick release for the as it will put the tension on the plate rather than the camera. Thank you all for the assist on this, I look forward to being able to help someone through this platform as i received the help I got! |
