New G11 mount - loose counterweight shaft?


 

Hi all - I'm new to the forum and to astronomy as well, so pardon the ignorance!


I just received and assembled a new G11 + Gemini 2 system. ?Can't really play with it yet as I didn't realize that the wall power adapter isn't included, but in the meantime one thing that I noticed is that the counterweight shaft fees a bit loose when fully screwed in. ?It's as if the threads aren't super precise and if I push/pull laterally on the far end a little bit I can feel it move with a ever-so-slight knock at the thread. ?I have the shaft fully threaded in and it feels very snug otherwise.


Normal? ?Anything to worry about? ?Remedies to completely eliminate any play?


Thank you!
