I had a lockup with the 1.5 FW - my 4th lockup in the year I've had my R5.

I was using animal Eye AF with the 100-500+1.4x (was 100-400+1.4x for other lockups).

Exactly the same scenario for me, I read on another forum that taking off the 1.4x will eliminate/reduce lockups. I haven’t tried it yet.

I use the 1.4xtc on my 100-500 on my R5 probably 90% of the time. Never had a lock up happen. In fact I only had maybe 2 lockups and that was only with the original firmware. Never happened again. I typically do go out with fully charged batteries or at least in the 70% charge range. Who knows if that's an effect or not.

Name the gear and I've probably owned it and used it.
