I've known abou this for quite a while, did it with my old mead mount (used a CD) but not with my new HEQ5-Pro. I cut a small washer from a used plastic milk carton to go between the mount and my tripod. Now when I tignten up all my bolts and come to polar aligning I can make small fine adjustments to the azimuth screws without having to slacken anything off. Butter smooth, didn't cost a cent and one 1 minute of my time.
