Nikon F100 Repair - Loose Hot Shoe and Defective Meter Selector
Channel: Jack Wiegmann
Date: 2020-12-29

My hotshoe on my F100 was wobbly, and unlike later DSLRs, the hotshoe screws are unfortunately screwed in from the inside-out rather than the outside-in, so the top must be removed to tighten them up. This video is a very, very basic explainer as to how to crack it open. I didn't remove the top plate again in the video as I didn't want to try my luck with 20 year-old adhesive again, but I did my best to explain screw positions.
