Hey Mr Mitchell - what about this then?

"Question: when you setup your mount - get the tripod base level, attach the mount using the primary locking shaft etc. When you go to polar align and you need to use the azimuth bolts to rotate the mount a bit I find I can't unless I loosen the locking shaft. I can see that should be the case but I will be buggered if that is mentioned in any texts I have read. No problem really but I do wonder about the level of the mount when I have noticed that tightening that locking shaft actually splays the tripod legs out a bit more thereby possibly stuffing up the level if the ground is a little rough i.e paving bricks etc.. end rant."

Cheers
Dave
