Also keep an eye out for any cable tugs that could be happening to your camera as the mount slews around from one position to another.
I’ll check all of my fittings next time I’m out and see if I can find any areas of flex. Reducing the weight of the camera can’t hurt though for both setups as if there is any room for movement, the less weight, the less likely it is to occur. Thank you again for you advice
