I know this is an old video, and the V2 fixed this issue you are referring to, but a quick workaround would be to order a “D ring” 1/4 mount screw and switch the old screw out for the new one so whenever it comes loose you don’t need to find a tool to retighten it. But also you’d have to find a screw with a D ring on it that’s thin enough to fit in there, so shop around a bit first!
Been using Manfrotto RC2 plate for more than a decade and still think that is one of the best because you can do a drop in instead of sliding in. You may want to move to F50 square QR plate for drop functionality to prevent the plate from twisting when sliding in.
When someone on fb marketplace asks to pay by Zelle and they ask for my email...I send them the Zelle QR code. They usually say that doesn't work, please give me your email. Once they say this, I know right away its a scam. I'll then tell if they can't figure out how to use Zelle then too bad. They usually disappear after that. The Zelle QR code is far more secure as they cannot extract any details such as your phone number or email...so the scammers are stopped dead in their tracks.
I think the Falcam is just too small for a camera mount. Perfect for accessories but not the camera itself. I standardised on Manfrotto quick release base plates for all cameras. Keen to use the Falcam elsewhere.
What is that rubber cover flopping around on the bottom of your camera? Is that why you can't get most quick release plates to stay aligned on the bottom of your camera?
With the F38 did you have a good bit of 'play' or 'wiggle' when your camera was mounted to your tripod. Is the Pgytech different/better? I'm thinking of going to a quick release arca plate system if I can't get something quick, easy and small to hold everything together tightly, as if the camera and tripod are all 1 piece when fully secured.
thats a beast of a computer you got! when im done my program and ive got more time to do video editing, i should ask you which macbook i should get. thanks for the informative video.
You lost me in the first 3 minutes...😳😳😳🤣🤣🤣. Sweet looking laptop. I hope the family is doing great. All is well in Utah. We got snow in the mountains lately. Take care and be safe...🎥😃👍👌👊🙏🙏🙏
>>Question: did you fix the plates properly? Look, I appreciate the video and I respect you being able to retract your prior content but I wonder if this was necessary. What I'm essentially hearing from your review/update is that the key issue is the stability of the f38 baseplate, which is then causing all sorts of problems. this paired with the info that you seem to tighten the plate with a coin. (of course, this combined with it's respective downside.) Now, my thought is: wouldn't a proper mounting/tightening of the baseplate resolve all the issues you have? The issue doesn't seem to be the product but the way you are using it. Correct me if wrong but the logical order of thought is: 1) it's too inconvenient to mount the plate properly. I have to use a tool or a coin. (is it?) 2) the plate comes loose, and causing all sorts of problems. (why does it come loose?) It would be a whole different story AND a real issue, if you said: I fixed the plate properly and it still got loose. But that's not the case, is it?
Umm the way the screw is, you can use an Allen key or something flat like a screw driver so the coin works just fine. Yes I tightened it down as much as I could without tearing the camera. So yes when I tightened it up with a coin or a tool, it still came loose. If you have a better way to tighten it properly, let me know. The point I was making is that you’d have to carry a tool with you in the field bc it comes loose sooo much
actually itu can be solved by using falcam cage, alreadt have f22/38/50 quick release compatible, 3 in 1 quick release in single cage at your canon body camera
I've been using a Falcam F38 (V2) with no issues whatsoever. I am not defending the company per se, but I suspect you may have purchased a faulty quick release - the more troubling aspect to any (& all) items is the build at the factory - rarely these days does something last the distance; in part, it is the manufacturer becoming sloppy - the quality control is minimal. Your assertion that you're concerned that the mounting plate screw may strip-out the thread on the camera body - have you actually inspected same ? As with everything that has moving parts, regular maintenance is essential, be it a vehicle, ladder, holding clamps/brackets - it is not enough to expect these products to be of the same standard that was once the case thirty years ago, & that's all due to a throw-away society - an edict that has been endorsed by we, the user. Obviously, you have new QRS's to play with (& as I'm commenting on your video twelve months later), the F38 may be a dim & distant memory; ultimately, I hope you've found an adequately reliable replacement; I always look at these products as possessing a 'half-life' of sorts, ergo, it's not going to last; sad but true..
Wow, where have the 2 years gone. It seems she was born just yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed watching her grow up and achieve those milestones in her life. Katilyn, Happy 2nd Birthday girl...😃👍👌👊🙏🎂🍨🎈🎉🎁🙏❤️

I like your son's name. Katelyn is growing so big. Shes a cutie. Need her to do the bunny facial expression. Ask her, "what does a bunny do?" Grinch her nose...lol.
