I've been waiting to use the Q for a few days and I get an adapter that doesn't work. So frustrating!!

I've just had a look for the thread but can't find it about another user having an issue with this adaptor and a very simple resolution was found. I can't recall if it was a getting it on or getting it off the camera issue but it might be worth searching for.

Thank you!! I thought about taking the screw out cause that was the problem. As long as it doesn't need to be there to hold anything in place, I'll go ahead and remove it.

Everyone seems to run into the same problem with these
adapters. I can't figure out what purpose the screw even serves.

Apparently this is still a problem as I just received my adapter this week and it didn't fit. Took the little screw off and now it's perfect :-)

Glad a solution was found for you both!

The power of a great forum like this helps turn a problem into a success!

I look forward to getting one of these adaptors for my Q myself!
