I've managed to solve the issue in RA, but I'm not sure if that's the 'right' way to do it. Sarah had asked me to center the worm and adjust the camstop again - I did so and it didn't help.

I then decided to turn the screws on either side of the camstop pin 1 turn loose i.e. they are now 3.5 turns loose from fully down. This has actually fixed the issue - I ran the mount (indoors) for almost 3-4 hours, and it was perfectly fine. The current consumption is down, and the mount is running a bit cooler too.

I asked SB if this was okay or would this comprise guiding or introduce the backlash, but they didn't reply to me today. I wish they had and if this adjustment was acceptable then I could have used the mount tonight. So I'm asking you guys, do you think this is OK or should I go back to 2.5 turns and try to find another solution (though I'm not sure what I can try other than this). Would appreciate a response as today's Friday and the forecast is clear so I'd to use it outside without issues (*fingers crossed*)
