Re: G11G Wobbles
Yes. There are 4 Allen head screws under each part of the RA EXT sides. These don't need to be crushingly tight - 2 to 3 ft-pounds should suffice. In many cases you are tightening a stainless screw

Re: G11G Wobbles
Just a gentle reminder (trying to help, not annoy¡­) that ¡®the screw is tight¡¯ doesn¡¯t necessarily mean ¡®the parts are tight¡¯. A too-long screw can bottom-out in a threaded hole and be

Re: G11G Wobbles
With regards to the RA extension for the G11G, there are 2 adjustment/lock bolts on each side of it. I assume these are the only items that need to be tight???? I do see 4 other bolts on the RA

Re: Guiding Comment and Question RE: L6.2
Dan, After doing the upgrade, absolutely you need to rerun PEMPro and recalibrate PHD2. You are monitoring the number of steps differently and more than likely are out of sync with your previously

Re: G11G Wobbles
This is not the case, Frank. I've been using Belleville washers for years. They compress at 6¨C7 pounds of load and don't go any further. They do not have sharp edges and don't cut into any surfaces,

Re: G11G Wobbles
I assume the 4x means 4 bolts? I have not heard of a 4x Hex Bolt? ? :-)

Re: G11G Wobbles
Thank you gents for the advice. I just ordered nylon washers from Amazon and will place them with all the screws on the G11G various tubes (RA extension...etc). With regards to the 4x Hex Head Grade 8
Re: G11G Wobbles
Re: Belleville Washers Their cup like design and spring steel material may not fully compress to give maximum surface contact/friction.? Their sharp edges coupled with joint movement may carve out

Re: G11G Wobbles
Hello again, If I had to firm up this arrangement I would add black nylon thick washers on the three MA bolts and the three Pier Extension bolts as there is very little mating surface between their

Re: G11G Wobbles
Attached is a pic of my mount showing the adapter connection to my pier plate, the RA extension tube and then mounted to my G11G. I have verified every single bolt on the adapter plate, the RA

Re: Drawing Needed
I added Belleville Washer to all 6 adjustment bolts above (in my 2 images) sandwiched in between 2 washers each. That wont solve my wobble issue but is a good tip to do.

Re: G11G Wobbles
Russ, You are probably going to have to start from the bottom of your pier and look at every connection for play. Some connector which appears tight could be creating a gap when load is applied

Re: G11G Wobbles
I have my G11 on the HD tripod in my living room right now, I will have it on my permanent pier soon and I will test for deflection.

Re: G11G Wobbles
Can you post more detailed pictures of the pier adapter plate your MA adapter is bolted to?

Re: G11G Wobbles
I have a center bolt through the adapter along with an additional 4 bolts and I verified those are all tight. Question, if you were to apply a slight force to the top of your mount, are you also

Both of my MA adapters are the bolted 2 piece design. Just bought one last Fall. How new are the welded ones? Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone Get Outlook for Android

Re: G11G Wobbles
Hello, As an old car mechanic, my suggestion to track down subtle movement would be to use your fingers placed on/across adjacent parts to feel for any movement while rocking the unit. P.S.: Rocking

Re: G11G Wobbles
I would agree with that, on my pier I do have the center bolt but also have 6 others spaced out further.
