Compression ring or extra thumb screw ?

Hi All

Just wondering which would be the better option for securing a CC and camera gear safely and as level as possible to my telescope, adding a third thumb screw or a compression ring type adaptor ?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

My vote is a 3rd screw 👍

I put a 3rd screw in mine, it worked well

Thanks for this, I was edging towards a third screw.

Just need to source matching ones for my Skywatcher PDS scopes now, a quick google search for “skywatcher thumb screw eyepiece holder” etc and I’m not finding much. Anyone know a good source for these please ?

Thanks
