I just got the light up freehand zero today-I love it, but i had one slight problem-how do i turn the counterweight off? When i press the button that turns it on, in hopes that it will turn off, nothing happens, and it continues using it’s lights. Am I supposed to just wait until it turns off?
EDIT: Nevermind, I found that I had to hold down the button for several seconds, to turn the counterweight off.
Just as it took a few seconds to turn it on, it takes a few seconds t turn it off. You might not be hitting the switch properly. It’s easy to not hit the switch right and it make take a few attempts to turn it off.
Also, replies work better when you don’t go and lock your thread immediately.
I realized that I had to hold down the button for several seconds minutes after I posted the topic, and I thought that since I figured out the solution to my problem, I should not waste people’s time by them posting replies to a problem I had already solved. Thanks for the help, though. Sometimes the on/off switch does not work perfectly, but as you said, I am probably not hitting the metal to the plastic in the exact spot it needs to be pressed.
If you can take the CW apart, I’m sure you could remove the guts. Do keep in mind that the electronics are part of the weight for the counterweight. So, after you’re done painting, weigh the innards and see what you’re missing and maybe add some material inside to get it close to “factory weight” for best results.
