Markins new Q3T Mark II problem

It's brand new. Everything works fine expect the little gap showing on pic. When you push and pull, you can actually hear the clicking sound. I don't remember my old Q3T had this issue.

I verified with one of my friend, his new Q10 has the same issue. pic below is from his new Q10 (I don't have studio light)

I wonder anybody else has the problem with new Markins mark II version?

There's a little play in a new Q3T I have and there is none in my older Q3T. The new ballhead works fine but there is no clicking sound. There's a fair amount of turning play in the knob but this is normal.

Have you asked Markins about it? Maybe it's not a problem.

I already emailed Markins about this. waiting for reply.

I don't think it's a big problem, just don't want getting dusts inside of it.

i've got a tiny bit of play on both the q3tmarkII and the q20, but no clicking sounds. always have a neoprene lens pouch on my ballheads unless theyre in active use, to help prevent dust intrusion.

Dont have mine in front of me, but I certainly dont recall noticing anything like that...

my Q10, has that gap, and small play.

the gap?? or the clicking??

Reply from Markins, see below:

That is very normal. The knob must be pulled a bit, and also it should wiggle a bit left and right.

If you have more questions, please feel free to contact us again.
