tripod adapter does not lock the camera well MATTERPORT PRO317908

EMILIANO private msg quote post Address this user
I had read in a post by @Wingman that he found that the tripod adapter didn't close properly.

True, it happened to me and you can't scan anymore and you have to go back to the office.

Now I also have a Allen key in my suitcase. Tighten the adapter screw and check it from time to time.

Greetings Emiliano

Ugh!

Thanks for letting us know. I wonder if others have experienced the same problem!?

Amazon link for the Allen key?

Thanks

Yes the nut needs to me monitored and tightened as required.
It is a number 3 allen key which you can buy on it’s own or as part of most sets.

@Gladsmuir

Is this the Allen Key #3 that is needed?

(I included a multi-size kit version - below - too for a few dollars more.)

@Dan,
Yes the first one would be neat to keep with the kit at all times.
Unfortunately all the 14,637 free ones that I have are every size, except the no 3.

@DanSmigrod I see they do a shorter 6” version that you might post a link to?

@EMILIANO

If you get a chance, can you create/post a YouTube video of How/Where to tighten the Matterport Quick Release Clamp Tripod Mount and Clutch (tripod adapter) using a 3mm Hex Key?

I have actually said that mine is ok while I have seen other complaining to experience some problems with it. However I have not used it much so may be I will have similar problems after some use.
