@neil phillipsif you're talking about how the mount hit the dirt, that was due to me removing the mount from the tripod, instead of leaving it on and folding the legs up. I forgot to remove the counterweigh and the mount toppled from the top of the tripod. I did try to catch it, but only broke it's fall somewhat. I was very, very lucky, as a bit earlier I was observing on concrete. I had moved it onto the grass, so that I could get a better view of Polaris.
When the RA clutch lever is tightened up, it won't be a problem. It's just that I thought I had bent or bust something, but there's absolutely no sign of that. All the spindles, bolts, etc. are perfectly straight, thank goodness! The RA clutch lever probably scraps off the plastic before the fall, I must have missed it till I had a good close up look at everything, after the incident.🙄
Next time it goes on a trip, I'm going to ask the mount to send me a postcard!.🤣
