gravity separation

I sent the Sirui ball head for two main reasons.
1. because of the swing mechanism was defective and
2. because the top locking screw is so long that it touches the stand when tilting (90 °) and no 90 ° are possible.
The latter could be circumvented only by an offset mounting the camera on the removable disk, but this is also not the point of it.

At point 1 still: In light suit "braking" the bottom locking screw sound while panning nasty scratch and crackling noises. Like a nail, the slowly pressed into wood.
In addition, each time finding the screw behind remains a permanent notch, which leads to a side swing (for a slight braking) to an entanglement. For me unacceptable.

The separation occurred to me still very difficult, because the rest of the processing was just perfect and absolute Hightech Feeling mediated. Everything precisely adjustable and super robust when it comes to the camera weight.
Too bad!
The settlement via Amazon ran perfectly.
