Has anyone else had trouble removing the handles to switch between the tripod mount handle and the Do it All?  I had a very hard time getting the standard bottom cover off and now I can't get the tripod cover off to install the Do It All handle.

I also had a very difficult time getting the SD card to engage and stay in the camera....

Am I the only one having this difficulty?

No, someone made a video about it!  I think they made it hard to remove to ensure that the camera doesn't fall off the tripod - or very long stick when doing crane shots.  The person who made the video suggested kind of bending the cover backwards while pulling it off, but I'm not sure that's a good idea.  They also used something like a towel to grip it with.  Personally I would suggest using a small piece of that rubber mesh stuff that is sold for lining drawers or trays to stop things sliding around.  That will improve your grip on it, and it's easy to store in your bag or pocket.  I'd also recommend trying to avoid giving the Pocket 2 too much of a jolt when pulling off the cap as that's perhaps not good for the delicate gimbal mechanism.  As for the SD card, I guess using your fingernail is the way to go, like with most such devices.

Thanks.  At least I know I'm not the only person who has experienced this!

To get mine off, I screwed a mini tripod to it and pulled. A locking mechanism might have been better.

Good idea.  I just worked it back and forth an kept pulling.  Finally it came loose.   Man, there must be a better design than that.

If you attach a tripod it makes removal easy. You have grip and leverage.
