RDF Movement

[R3Z4]

Hi All, 

I've recently acquired a pair of Celestron 20x80 Pro bins; however even with the lock nut tightened there is some slight movement with the reflex sight rail. I'm using a Baader SkySurfer III RDF.

Thanks

Have you tried adding a washer?

[R3Z4]

Thanks, but the movement occurs whilst the reflex sight rail is attached to the support rod.

Oh. Maybe  try a strip of rubber around the rod.

Good thinking Ruud 👍 I’ll try that and see if it helps? Thank you.

I used insulation tape to build up the bar for my clamp. 👍

That’s a great idea! I’ll have to test it out, as there’s not much space between the clamp and the support rod, but enough to make it slip. Thanks
