Hi,

Sorry if this is a dumb question. The T-ring is lose, that is the part that connects to the camera is lose to the other ring.

The tightening screws seem very small, and none of my allen keys can fit. I've tried Bunnings but they don't have anything that small either. Does anyone know where I can get the allen keys to access those screws?

Thanks.
George

Some small screwdriver sets have heads that fit these. I bought one off eBay for under $10 shipped.

Regards,
Eric

Mine is a flat head screw, it's tiny. Hi bought a small set from bunnings for $13 and id did the job.

The other option is to replace the screw with a different head, but of course that means that you actually have to get it out in the first place. A toothpick or bamboo skewer may work if it is already loose.

Yes, you'll need to to get one as they come loose quite often.
