I have a tri-pier for my Mach1 when I'm out and about (pier at home). I'm happy with it but have a possibly irrelevant concern with its design ...
The first time I set it up at a remote site, I noticed that my whole setup was able to move backwards and forwards. Eventually we traced it to the tri-pier itself. There's 3 screws that hold the top of the tripier (the surface that the Mach1 adapter bolts to) to the pier. They had come loose in transit. No big deal to retighten them but
- one of the screws is a bit dodgy and will not budge (but thankfully seems to be in tight)
- they are very small screws. It concerns me slightly that they are that small and are stopping potentially 80kg or so of gear from tilting (if my Mach1 were loaded at max capacity).
As I said, may be fine, and I've noticed no issues since tightening them. But just an observation and heads up fyi. (I couldn't find anyone else with the same problem from a quick Google)
