I also experience probles with star trailing dispite a verry accurate calibration and spring settings what can i do to fix this. read there are probles with the inner PTFE bush .

Good idea let down by poor QC

I recently bought an LX3 and had some issues with star trailing on some frames. On dismantling the LX3 I found that the PTFE bush that supports the brass drive pin (that the camera ball head connects to) was very poorly reamed out resulting in free play between the pin and the bush. I am arranging for a metal bush replacement to be machined to rectify this. I have had no reply from Omegon in response to a number of emails on this subject. I have done a review on DP review under the astronomy forum section if you want to see photos.

This is a useful product generally well made but let down by this key component
