hdmesa Posted July 21, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 21, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Anyone with the Q2 Protector: Does your d-ring on the bottom screw just flop around and hang down in use? Sure, the case protects fhe Q2, but it’s now a hazard to whatever I set it down on. Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Hi hdmesa, Take a look here Q2 Protector Case — D-ring Flops Around?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
hdmesa Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share #2 Posted July 21, 2021 Ordered a pair of SmallRig 838 replacements that look identical — reviews said their d-rings stay put. In the meantime, I made four cut/press marks in the center of the d-ring with wire cutters that expanded the ring and tightened it up so it doesn’t flop around. Kind of looks like handmade jewelry design now, lol. Welcome, dear visitor!

hdmesa Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted July 23, 2021 The SmallRig 838 screws arrived from B&H today, and they work perfectly. They are better made and the d-ring is tighter and stays in the flat position out of the way. The SmallRig screw head is a little wider, and the screw length is longer and threads further into the tripod hole, making it more secure. It also threaded through the case and tripod threads like a dream, whereas the one that came with the case was a little unsure and easy to bind up.

Marc B-C Posted July 23, 2021 Share #4 Posted July 23, 2021 It looks like you have a solution, which is great. Interestingly, however, the D-ring on my Q2 protector does not "flop" It is by no means stiff but does stay in place. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
