How does the anti-slip feature work?

Troubleshooting
Camera feels loose on the strap
Ensure the quick-release plate is securely tightened to the camera and the quick-release base is firmly attached to the strap. Check the anti-slip gasket is correctly positioned.
Quick release button is stiff or hard to engage
Check for any debris or obstruction in the locking mechanism. Ensure the plate is correctly aligned with the base before attempting to click it in. Lightly lubricate the mechanism if necessary, following manufacturer recommendations if available.
Strap connection feels insecure
Verify that the strap is properly threaded through or attached to the base. Consult the specific design of the base attachment for your strap type and ensure it's being used as intended.
