I am noticing about 3mm in play and was wondering if anyone else who has the Q3T has experienced the same thing. Thanks.

Mar 02, 2012 07:35 | #2 I have two of these ballheads and they both have rotational play. I seem to recall someone here asking this question of Markins and as I recall they replied that it's normal. I assume your 3mm means 1.5mm at each end, 3mm of play at one end would be a bit much I think. ~Peter

Never been a problem nor made a bit of difference. I wouldnt worry about it one bit and be happy that you have a stronger and much more stable head upgrade! [Gear List | Flickr
