I had a thread about this already but it was more so addressing a different "problem" that I have since resolved.
Long story short my D3200's hot shoe is pretty flimsy. I popped up the metal spring clip to look at the screws and it looks like 3 of the 4 screws are not even threaded at all (may have loosened and fell inside the body?).
Functionally the hot shoe works fine, I just don't feel safe using it with it being so flimsy. Does anyone know of a DIY method for fixing this issue or it something best left to Nikon? If so, does anyone have an estimate as to what Nikon would charge for this repair? I don't want to invest a significant amount of money into the repair of a $300 body that works perfectly otherwise.
