SAW THIS ON FACEBOOK, MAYBE NIKON WILL FIX IT WHILE IN REPAIR: https://fstoppers.com/originals/stop-fighting-hot-shoe-your-nikon-d750-110295

Just be glad it wasn't this bad
No worries. I don't know what a hot shoe is, what it does, nor do I care.:highly_amused:
While the camera is at the shop, you should ask them to check. And give them the link. If it is a problem, you might as well get it fixed now.

Folks have been bitching about the hotshoe since the camera came out. I've never had an issue. Neither have thousands of other owners. It's the internet, people would often rather bitch than shoot.
Actually there is nothing wrong with it. I tried it out when I first got the camera when I was going over it, to make sure everything was in working order.:encouragement:
The only bitchin' I heard about it was, that Nikon was too cheap to include a hot shoe cover.
Also haven't heard anyone bitching about the shutter falling apart, and yet it happened.

I've got a rubber cover on mine from the Delkin Easy Cover. It slides in the hot shoe. The cover took some time getting used to though. The covers for the D750, D610, and D7100 are far better than their model for the D90.

Never had a problem with my flash shoe but come to think about it I am not sure I have even used it yet...Runs to go check now
Just checked mine two different ways. Put the flash directly on the hot shoe as well as used an SC-28 remote cord fastened to a flash bracket. Both ways worked without any problem. Whew!
Received an e-mail from Nikon, Thursday.
Dear Peter Blacktop sir.
We have received your Nikon D750. Unfortunately we can not fix it. The shutter blew up and it's all over the place.
We apologize for this mishap and would like to make things right by sending you free of charge, a new Nikon D5 camera along with a Nikon D500 as a backup.
Thank you for being a loyal customer.

I've seen it pretty regularly, when non-Nikon devices are connected to the hot shoe. First time I saw it was with at an OCF seminar back last June with Yongnuo speed lights and triggers in the hot shoe, and more recently with the Phottix Odin controller at a Meetup back in November... multiple different shooters and copies of the D750 body.
That said, simply repositioning the device will correct the problem, but it adds a little excitement when you're trying to figure out why the lights didn't fire.
