For those of you using the Manfrotto 410 Junior Geared head on their spotting scope...
I just got one and I am having trouble with the tolerances of the unit. It’s not very “precise” and every time I turn a knob, there is significant play causing my image to shift.
For example, the knob for horizontal panning is located on the right hand side and is oriented so you turn the knob forward and backwards to pan left and right. When I do that, it induces vertical movement in the scope. I hope this makes sense.
Anyone else have the same issue? How do you tighten it up or is it just inherent in the design and I need to try a different head?
