Mick is right about the complaining.
The more complaints the manufacturer gets the better he knows what has gone wrong in the production process.
And yes we are the final quality control.
Imagine from an manufacturing point of view: you want to bring out the perfect mount.
First each and every part has to be checked for the tolerances, if it is not good enough it has to be hand filed or sandpapered.
Once that is perfect then the mount has to be tested for at least an year under viewing conditions and disassembled everytime when something isn't right.
If and if they make the mount perfect, lets say an eq5 they have to slap an pricetag on it of $4000 at least to get the cost out of making the mounts but then again the next mount has to be hand made too so the price is going to be astronomically high and i am not even talking about an goto mount.
I just wonder what an losmandy mount would cost (they already have good QC).
So i do understand the manufacturers and you do get what you pay for.
But as everything in life, mistakes are beeing made every second.
