Canon EOS 5DMk3 multi-controller joystick issue.

[PeteNaples]

I managed to somehow pull the multi-controller joystick off the back of my Canon EOS 5D Mk3

The contoller itself worked OK, but I couldn't leave it like that as muck might get in.

The part was £3.50 delivered from Ebay, with the aid of a couple of YouTube videos I was able to change it easily enough.

If anyone has ever wondered what a 5DMk3 with the back off looks like, here it is.

Blimey you are brave

In another life, I work on digital cinema projectors. My dad was an engineer, working on Royal Navy nuclear submarines. He was always tinkering with watches or fixing something. So I have the tools and skills for this.
Still, it's my 5DMk3 though...

A good few £ saved.

Good job. It would never work again if I did that, and I'm not entirely useless with tools.
