Feisol 3371 Problem!

Well I have had my Feisol for less than 2 weeks and already I am experiencing some problems with one of the leg locks. As much as I tighten the lock the section below still moves and can be pulled out from the lock. Not impressed but I guess I got what I payed for.

Email has been sent to Feisol and I hope they can help me because with a long lens the tripod is liable to 'sink' on that one leg and is no way steady.

Just warning other potential buyers of a possible issue. Maybe it's a one off problem but I am not that impressed at the moment.

Hey Alex--

I just sent you an email with the response I got from Feisol a while ago. I would've posted it here, but there were some pictures attached.

Don't give up on the Feisol.....I love my 3471

Thanks Mark.

Did you get any instructions or just the images from Feisol?

I have had my 3371 for about a year now and couldn't be happier with it. I use it with my D200 and the 500mm f4, and a full Wimberley, and it is solid as a rock. I did have a problem with one of the angle locks breaking, and after communicating with Feisol support folks, got a replacement part sent posthaste.

Good to hear Ken.

I have dismantled the leg lock and put it back together again and it now seems to be fine. I guess something was out of alignment or something.

Cheers

I have two feisol trippods, the CT-3371 and the CT-3401N plus the monopod
CM-1471 and I'm very happy with them, never had a problem.
