G,day Jimmy
The 3 lock screws make it harder and more time consuming than it needs to be.
I removed mine on the gs 12" within the first couple of days and replaced the standard springs with heavier ones that can hold the weight of the 12" mirror. If the l/bridge uses the same springs as the gs, maybe someone could contact Meade and see if they can address the problem by fitting suitable springs as standard.


PS. A temporary quick fix is to screw the collimation screws in to compress the springs, then adjust to collimate and the compressed springs won't allow the mirror to float around as much.
