I've got an Autopole that someone must have stripped out some internals of the bayont system to get tightness to the camera bayonet mount. I've worked a hack for this, but the overall Autopole has some wiggle when mounted on the camera. This is coming about becuse the lower bayonet mount outer part is only screwed in at one point and is loose to lift slightly at the oppsite side of this mount.

Anyone with a working Autopole have any thoughts? Does it have some looseness when mounted? WHere he top part can wiggle forward a millimeter or two or three?

Thanks.
