Play in camera side of CAA

DavesView

I have about 1mm to 2mm rotational play in the CAA on the camera side. Does anyone else have play/slop in their CAA?

Tech@ZWO there are already several threads here on this forum about this topic. Looks like a QA issue in your production environment. Some example threads:

The second one even has a video attached. I guess that’s the issue that DavesView experiences.

Not sure what you're asking a photo of. Do you mean a fits image taken through the CAA, or a photo of the CAA?

Tech@ZWO
What do you want from me when you say "upload a photo".

I want to know what is the:“2mm rotational play in the CAA on the camera side”

Exactly! Looks like they produced a cheap version of a field rotator. I also have a Pegasus rotator, and it is top notch. That's the last ZWO CAA I buy. They got me this time. Not gonna happen again. I'd rather cry about the price than the product. I'll give this one to a beginning astronomer with a cash problem and get a Pegasus to replace it.
