Dropped A7RV

[SonyFF32137]

I had a major disaster this morning my A7RV was dropped four foot onto concrete with an 800mm lens attached. Screen is shattered and bent. Sensor appears to be off center, camara powers up takes pictures, but is out of focus, Body of camera appears ok. Lens works on another body , just some very minor damage to plastic ring on front. This all happened because of a cheap Amazon bought Arca-Swiss adapter plate. I was using a tripod that I wasen't normally useing and wasn't aware thar the adapter plate wasn't tight, even though the base attachment 's knob was tight. After the fact I realized that the knob was bottomed out and not clamping the plate tight enough to hold the camera when I tilted the setup down to reach the battery compartment.   Tried another adapter plate , and it clamps tightly, and the plate that doesn't clamps tightly into the tripod setup I normally use. Anyway I'm looking for any repair suggestions to get this issue rerpaired right.

Sorry to hear that.

No idea where you live. UK? Europe? US? Aus? Any local repair shops? Do you have insurance on your gear? If not, check with your homeowner's policy. Which lens? Is this the new Sony lens or legacy glass?

Sorry about the lack of info. I'm presently located in Northern Florida. The lens is a Sony 400-800mm. I'm going to call my insurance agent on Monday, and then weigh what the cost to repair will be vs what my insurance will go up for filing a claim.

I ended up getting insurance through the PPA. It's not expensive and you don't need to involve your HO insurance in most cases. Hopefully some in FL can chime in and recommend a place down that way.
