Grimor Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Seens like any kind of little nut inside is loosing slowly. Did you try to screw this piece while pulling from it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had any problem with the one I owned though. I hardly Ever use a neck strap, just a hand strap for Photos. But they do use the lug on one side. I always like the shoulder strap that screws into the tripod hole in the bottom. Lot more stronger. I know they had to send the body back to Olympus to fix them. No clue with the GH5. I bet sad to say same deal, back to Panasonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabens44 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I'm having the exact same issue. Has anyone come up with a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I seriously doubt any solution, other than sending it back to Panasonic, is going to work. At a minimum you are going to have to take the entire top of the body off to reach the nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kye Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 If you didn't mind a little damage, drilling a small hole right next to it might allow you to tighten the nut inside, then some decent strength glue to hold it all in place and close the hole again?

JordanWright Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 I sent it back to Panasonic a while ago. They fixed it for free out of warranty. I think it did took about 2 weeks. They also fixed the ware to the grip that early models of the camera had. kye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
