JohnVid Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Recently all the rubber pads started coming off the camera, first to go was the main grip, where an obvious design flaw causes the rubber to come out of the groove near the shutter button. Same thing happened to a mate of mine, he had it fixed under waranty, but didnt stick with the camera. I could glue them back on but they are actually larger than needed due to stretching so would need a little trimming. So perhaps I need one of those molded Jackets for the body, but didnt know which would be the best or if they also stretch and look tatty after a while. Anyone have any experience of this, not sure my next camera will be a Canon, they need to offer up something radical something that doesnt need hacking, I wonder how long will have to wait for a Canon 4k 550 Killer.

andy lee Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 yes the rubber parts fell off my Canon 550d too so I just bought new replacements off ebay - stuck them back on with evostick ....it works ok Silicon jacket will move around and stretch as its not secured to all the body .....IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnVid Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Cheers, thought so, didnt know replacements where on ebay, hopefully wont have to worry about it for much longer as a replacement is on the horizon, but need to keep stuff out of the holes in the body.
