Great job! You saved me with this vid. Had my hot shoe contacts corroded and had to disconnect the whole unit. Top panel dissamble guide would be also great!
Hallo Robert. Vielen Dank für Dein Video und die drei Diagramme. Ohne die hätte ich mich niemals getraut meine gute Sony A7III zu öffnen und dank Deiner guten Beschreibung meinen Fehler zu beheben. In den letzten Sekunden Deines Videos habe ich gesehen, was bei mir defekt war. Und zwar sieht man im Frontgehäuse einen fehlenden Befestigungssockel (ausgebrochen) Bei mir waren dort drei von vier Befestigungspunkten gebrochen und dadurch haben meine Objektive ein starkes Spiel in der Objektivfassung. Konnte sie mit Metallkleber wiede befestigen und jetzt passt alles wieder.
Any day one of your videos is uploaded, it's going to be a Good Day !!. You're the master of Camera Repair Instructional videos.Clear, concise, covering all the bases.
I have the Sony A7r iii and after watching this, I now know what anxiety is…lol. Super interesting but l don’t think I could ever bring myself to do this, lol.
Sooo... Do you offer the repairs yourself? My Diopter will not focus when I spin it in either direction. If there is a way to cause it lock on a focus close to focused for my eye, I would love to know how.
No, I don't do any camera repair for others. Unfortunately I don't have a video that shows anything on the diopter adjustment right now. Hopefully I will in the near future though. Sorry I can't be more help.
The 3M 300LSE double sided strips work great for reattaching the grips. Here's a link to some on Amazon; www.amazon.com/dp/B09LT1Z76H?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
You will only need to disassemble it down to where you can remove the top section. Once you have the top section off, you will have access to the hot shoe from the underside.There are a few other parts on the underside that will have to be removed in order to get to the hot shoe screws and flat ribbon cable.
Yes you will, but only as far as removing the back panel. I have not removed that selector assembly myself, and I don't have a video showing how to do it yet. Hopefully sometime in the near future though.
Top man you are saving lot of people money by teaching them how to fix cameras keep up the the good work sir
Great job!! Thanks.

That's great that you were able to fix it. I hope to get more videos for this series out soon. 🙂

That's great news Helmut. I'm glad that you were able to find the problem and fix it, and I'm glad the video helped you out. 🙂
@@Thebobfactor I send you a e-mail with some pictures.

Hey thank you! I really appreciate that. :-)
I have the Sony A7r iii and after watching this, I now know what anxiety is…lol. Super interesting but l don’t think I could ever bring myself to do this, lol.
Lol. I sure know what you mean. It's a little mind boggling on how many pieces there are to one of these cameras. 🙂

Hey, what do you use to glue back the first grip ? Great video.

thank you !@@Thebobfactor
I am needing to replace the hotshoe on my A7iii. Do you have to disassemble the camera in order to access the cable connection for the new part?
You will only need to disassemble it down to where you can remove the top section. Once you have the top section off, you will have access to the hot shoe from the underside.There are a few other parts on the underside that will have to be removed in order to get to the hot shoe screws and flat ribbon cable.
@@Thebobfactor thank you!! That definitely seems doable
Do I need to take my camera apart to replace the multi-selector joystick?
Yes you will, but only as far as removing the back panel. I have not removed that selector assembly myself, and I don't have a video showing how to do it yet. Hopefully sometime in the near future though.
@@Thebobfactor that would be cool. I think I will hold off on sending it out for repairs. We have no service repair in California it seems.
