Camera isn't steady when on floor

[Christoffer Glans]

I'm wondering about this, when I put my Epic down on a plane ground it jogs back and forth like there was something under it making it unsteady. Can't find anything under it, but I took a picture of the front, is this correct? Seems like there's a gap (white line), is it like this on others Epics?

Just checked the line here, if you look at the bottom from a certain angle, you see the insertion lip of the bottom plate that goes into front plate. Nothing unique there as that lip is not coated.

Back and fort meaning front to back or right to left?


Just PM me to continue discussion.

Make sure image stabilization is off on your lens.

It's not in the image, it's the entire camera body that physically rocks back and forth as if the base of the camera was uneven. Seems to get worse if the camera is warm.

I can imagine somebody lifted the camera with the top handle while a heavy tripod was still attached?
Big NoNo with every camera.

It's a brand new camera that hasn't been out on any real field jobs yet.

Get a bottom plate and off you go

Hehe, yeah, but this was more about if there's something wrong with the bottom part of the camera that gets more damaged the more you use it.
I'm just a perfectionist when it comes to buying equipment, I'm usually a pain in the ass for sellers :tongue_smilie:
