Huh interesting. The price of the Canon adapter is nearly unjustifable, I would hope it isn't the fix. Though I see some on ebay for around $110 so maybe. I did have the camera mounted to the tripod directly instead of via the thread on the adapter itself, and I agree this didn't seem to help, but the Smallrig cage I have on the camera blocked me from mounting to the thread on the adapter. I had to remove it. I'll see if i can maybe modify the thing to fit with the cage on still, hopefully. I'm going to contact Fotodiox support and see what they say as well, I didn't think of that. I may also end up trying the Viltrox adapter since its cheap enough at least but we'll see. Thanks for the feedback.

If budget is tight, get the Viltrox. It works fine in my experience.  I couldn't justify taking a risk mounting heavy and expensive lenses on a third party adapter. YMMV.
