Shoot Me. I Dropped My Camera

[Dean_Gretsch]

I stepped on the strap and it pulled it right out of hands. I know, I know....ALWAYS carry it around your neck. One time, one stinking time that I don't and now it won't power on Any ideas?

Ugh... well, first thing I think would be to remove the battery, let it sit for a bit, then try putting the battery back in (or better yet a different battery if you have one) and try powering it up.

In the meantime I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Your finger crossing may have done the trick. It isn't as serious as I first feared. Apparently the drop damaged the grip. I took it off, reinstalled the battery compartment door and it's on. Lesson learned. Never again! Thank you for the concern and suggestion.

Grips ... "car bumpers" for cameras.

Sucks to lose the grip but awesome that it saved the camera.

Glad to hear the you're still going to be shooting.

Makes me think I should wear my harness more. I usually just hand carry and I have no strap on it.

The strap gets in my way for my right hand. So my strap ends actually both connect to the left camera strap eyelet.

Now we will have to endure an endless litany of "Should I grip my camera in order to prevent damage to it if I drop it?" posts.

Available SOON .. airbags for your camera !!
motion sensors detect fast movement down and deploy mini airbags to protect the camera. Optional versions available for lenses too!!

Grips save cameras and filters save lenses. So what saves the filters and the grips?

Just make sure to only hammer the grip. So the camera body will be saved !!

My hammer will have a handle. Would that be considered a 'grip'? If so, wouldn't that skew any results?

I've almost dropped mine. I can appreciate that sickening feeling of shock that seems to last for an eternity as you see your prized possession headed for the ground.

How did you determine the grip saved the camera?
