Canon 5D3 USB socket loose cable

[marts_uk]

I've noticed when tethering to my laptop, the USB cable connection into the 5D3 is becoming looser and looser, so much so that USB cable drops out of the socket.

Is it just me, or does anyone else suffer from this?

I can't speak for the 5D3 but one of my 5D2s USB sockets became loose then stopped worked completely after a prolonged period tethered shooting. I was quoted £430 to get the PCB replaced to fix the issue from Leahmans. If your 5D3 is still under warranty I'd get it looked at.
