Primos Trigger stick question

[FISH BOY]

Haven’t used them in a while and noticed there is a gap (no matter how hard I tighten) when using the V yoke. Seems to be spring loaded and sits flat with weight on it.

The platform rest on the other hand sits flush.

Is this normal for a gen2 trigger stick?

Hi I’ve got 2 x tripods and 1 bipod plus a monopod and I’m sorry to say they all sit tight on the base , try YouTube I did and it sorted out my first tripod which had a sticky leg, im sorry I can’t help anymore Baz

Is your internal threaded spring pressing down enough? Not sure if the v yoke & 2 point rest use the two different thread sizes on the internal spring.

Both use the same thread.

Even my aftermarket spotting scope mount sits flush using the same thread.

Definitely to do with the spring loaded bit as the V yoke is very tight on the thread with a gap, but compresses down and works as normal when weight on it.

It is a camera tripod thread with the brass hank bush pulling out....to much tracking causes that...
The bit pulled out should have a knurled outer which was a press fit...

Unless you've changed the head assembly (the bit the brass bit is stuck up from) they seem to have changed the design since I bought my Gen 2 sticks, but the 'V' yoke you've got looks to be the same as mine :

If the insert is pulling out, araldite may be your friend. The thread is usually 1/4" Whitworth or some larger heavier cameras had 3/8" Whitworth, so you maybe need to get the right nut to protect the thread, coat the insert with araldite and tap it back in so that the knurled section is right down, don't put a lot of araldite on or it will fill the space and not compress. If the centre bolt is really firm just get a washer that fills the space, a bit of plastic of the right thickness and a hole drilled in it to the right size will work. Normal caveats apply, the advice given is worth the fee!
