Greg,Bert even better than the PDF for camstop adjustment is the video I made. Search forum for Maintenance on PMX. This camstop adjustment will stop your mount slipping unless its massively out of balance. In which case you want it to slip.
Awesome looking bit of gear Bert. Going to take a while to wrap your head around all of it at once.
Cheers
Chris

I like the recessed filter holding screw system. That's new. Its better than the older simple stainless steel screw and plastic washer that sticks up 2.5mm and can get snagged on the adapters. Also they were shiny.
The PMX is a pretty mount. I am liking mine. It can be simple but it can also be very sophisticated. The 2 supplied counterweights should be enough for your scope. It is just enough for my AP140 and Proline setup which is probably somewhat heavier than your RHA.
The only thing to watch out for on the PMX and it may be just a few of them, they can slip when the scope is badly imbalanced and the three way switch is not set to locked. Its caught me out a few times now.
The other thing is you need to retrieve the envelope from the PMX's box as it has the serial numbers for the software to work.
The manual said it would be tapped to a spot in the box but mine was not. When I queried it I was told it was under the foam insert in the box. Lucky I didn't throw out the box eh? So if the envelope is not where the manual says it should be then it will most likely be right under the foam insert where the mount sits.
There is a pdf from Software Bisque about how to adjust a cam that stops this. Mine obviously needs this adjustment. I'll have to do it next time I use it. It probably would only take 10-15 minutes to do.
Greg.
