Hi, I noticed a bit of play in the joint of the tilt/roll axis joint the other day. Not sure if this is normal, but I have never noticed it before, and it seems unlikely its meant to do this. I have posted a video to show what I mean. Anyone got any advice? password: tilt/roll
So the guys at freefly were nice enough to offer me some support. It seems its probably the bearing has come loose from the roll arm assemble. While I am waiting for a replacement part, do you think it would be wise to glue the bearing to the roll arm assembly as a quick fix? Anyone done any dodgy fixes similar to this with success?
If you need to get up and running right away it is perfectly fine to use in this condition. You can also use some green (wicking) shaft retainer loctite applied to the outer race of the bearing. If you get ANY in the bearing though, you are toast. If it were me I would just use it as is until a new part arrived! Best, Tabb
Thanks for the advice Tabb, I'll go with the just leaving it till the part arrives option. Thanks again
