Doug -- We spent some time on this last year. There appear to be 3
"versions" of the mount -- 2 of which have the potential for shearing off
the reset button as a screw head passes over it. You can lok for the proper
version -- or put a bit of epoxy in the offending screw head of the one you
have. If you look carefully at how the mount turns as you put it on the
camera you should be able to see which is the offending screw.
