Z1 microphone holder: loose connection? (mechanical)
The external microphone holder on my Z1 is pretty loose, in that it can move back and forth quite a bit. I have checked all the (accessible) screws on the camera and they are all tight. I don't really know if this is how Sony intended it to be, or if mine is slowly getting worse until one day the holder will fall off.
Can some of you Z1 owners please tell me if this is normal for the Z1? Thanks, Martin

This happened to me last year. When you unscrew the bolt that clamps the mic holder down on the mic, you'll see two screws underneath which appear to hold the mic holder to the camera. You actually have to unscrew them and take the holder off, as there's a small piece between it and the camera held in by two screws that have probably come loose. You'll need a very small screwdriver for them.

a dab of Gorilla glue on the underlying screws will hold it for a long time.
