I received one via mail order and have a question about locking the lever for the quick release plate.
The instructions are written in some strange in English so thought I'd check on here.
The lever has quite a nice snap closing action when the plate is pressed into it. However it doesn't appear to fully close and instead stops at around 3/4's of it's expected movement.
Is the idea that once you've snapped the plate in you are meant to move it fully close it by hand ? I've never encountered this mechanism before so thought I'd check before I force/break anything.
Take a look at the images attached.
Image A shows what happens when I press the plate in.
Image B shows how I'd expect it to look.
Both images found online.
Thanks in advance.
