Hi Forum !
I'm a quite long time owner of R-D16 rotator.
I love it but there is one thing that bothers me a little.
Between each detent, it looks like there is 5° moving range (not sure if I am understandable !!)
When the rotator lock knob is not screwed in, the rotator can be turned a bit (about 5 degrees) if touched.
Is this normal? I did not notice this before (usualy I use 60° detent, and I recently noticed this while playing with the 3.5° detent).
Thx // Greg

Hi Nick, and thank you for your fast reply.
I allready this, test, in fact, this is whatr I say on the video at about 10 seconds.
Another thing, if you look on the video, between 15 and 20 seconds, you can see that the internal part of the rotator (aluminium color) is also moving (watch inside the 45° hole).
Do you think this issue could be easily solved ?
Thank you // Greg
Hi again..
FYI I added some annotations on the video, just incase I was not clear enough.
