Why doesn't mine? 
Can anyone offer any ideas. |
Hi Julie
I had one but gave it to Jen
Those eq2 mounts do have a very poor worm drive
Is the shaft from the drive unit turning (you may not see it turn but you should be able to feel it at 8x with your hand on the shaft.)?
Does the mount track with the manual control with the drive disconnected?
