Camera Bracket Breaks Easily

[alanw2005]

I can't believe how easy these brackets break. I have now figured out to barely tighten the screws and leave a gap between the bracket and mount.

They're from the h3-3d gimbal right?

Weird... I've never had an issue... But I don't mess with it much... Do you take your camera on and off a lot?

Yes I do. I use my camera for skiing, biking, swimming, etc.

I don't even use that on mine, I just use a hair tie to hold mine on, works great and the camera is much easier to remove when I want to.

Ahh that explains it then... How long did it last before it broke?

+1 Best invention evah!
Rubber band works, but this does the job and looks the goods.
The original H3-3d hex screws were atrocious to remove.

Rubber band (or hair tie in my case) is cheaper.

I agree with dptcalvin. I also have the quick connect bracket from Shapeways, and it works great....

Yep that's basically what I use, cheap and works really well. I have a lot of them on hand because I have long hair. I went that route because like everyone mentioned, the screws on the bracket are a pain in the butt to remove. If you have a wife/girl friend chances are you could get one from them.

Got one if someone wants to buy it? I used it 2 flights. NEVER had an issue with the gimbal, put this 3d printed part on - Bird was sitting on my table turned it on and the gimbal started tweaking out making a bunch of noise. Took it off and not a problem since.

So, instead I super glued my broken one, didn't tighten is so much, good ever since.

i actually got one that is made out of aluminum on eBay. Light weight and strong

Some people have problem with everything they buy. So if it doesn't work send it back for a refund.
