<p>I've been using this for about a year (https://www.thule.com/en-us/us/camera-bags-cases/dslr-camera-bags/thule-covert-small-dslr-messenger-bag-_-tl_85854233774) <br /> It fits my Nikon D810/24-120 with hood, and a has room for a flash and my iPad.</p>

<p>I'm sorry, I mean to OFF.</p>

<p>I'm not a D500, but I do believe that you have to switch "airplane mode" to on.</p>

<p>You should be fine. I've had camera bags/backpacks/briefcases fall out of the back of a SUV when I opened the tailgate -- anywhere from 3 to 5+ feet. D2x, D810 with various lenses attached. Never had a problem. </p>

<p>For the type of work he did, his pictures are still factually accurate.<br> Moving the location of pyramids, on the other hand, is an example of distorted reality, as is cloning in/out of North Korean dignitaries, soldiers in battle, etc. in pictures at are purported to be complete and accurate records of events. <br> Yawn.</p>

<p>Shoot them in "portrait" mode--vertical orientation, overlap by 1/3.</p>

<p>Mine seems fast enough, and silent, on a D810. Friends who use it on D500s love it even more. </p>

<p>I'd return the camera, and get a replacement.</p>

<blockquote> <p>I always thought the 'B' exposure mode was for booze</p> </blockquote> <p>and A is for Alcohol, or Ale; S is for spirits or shots, and M is for mixed-drinks :)<br> <br> Like others, if I'm paid or otherwise "on duty" then no, if I'm a guest doing a favor, then sure--as long as my wife is there to drive me home. <br> </p>

<p>Make sure you don't flash exposure compensation set on your camera or have the flash power set low.</p>

<p>Ooops! I guess should have that extra cup of coffee this morning, or perhaps started in on the wine a bit early! </p>

<p>"T<em>here should be almost no need for routine maintenance of the Sidekick. It is constructed primarily of aluminum and stainless steel. Corrosion should be an issue only for the roller thrust bearing, which is part of the tilt mechanism. This component is not available in stainless steel. The bearing is well lubricated and should perform well for many years. </em><br> <em> If the Sidekick is exposed to salt water or sand, it can be easily disassembled and rinsed. If you need to disassemble the tilt mechanism, refer to the assembly drawing at the end of these instructions. Note: the roller thrust bearing is shielded and protected by a thin layer of oil. If extreme circumstances such as extended exposure to rain or submersion in water cause you concern, you can dry the thrust bearing and lubricate it with oil or light grease to prevent corrosion. </em><br /><em> If you need replacement parts, you may order them directly from us. Our Dealers do not stock replacement parts. The plastic alloy bearings in the tilt mechanism are designed to operate even without lubrication, so there should be no fear of the bearings wearing out.</em>"</p>
