Hi all
I received my new Esprit 120 today. Looks like a nice bit of kit, but sadly it has a problem.
The rings aren't holding the scope in place. They're locked tight, but with just a bit of effort, the entire scope can slide back and then the weight is held by the flimsy dew shield. Imagine this snapping off during an attended session. The entire scope and camera would fall and smash to the ground,
I'm in touch with the seller at the moment to find a solution, and might bring a planned purchase of 3rd party rings forward... but has anyone encountered something similar on a scope before, and how did you fix it? I'm thinking of putting some tape on one side of the rings so it first slows travel then stops it with friction.
I know it's new, but this scope is actually TOO smooth
Cheers
Adam
