Hi,

Does anyone know how the action in a JMI DX3 manual focuser might be tightened a bit? Rated to lift 6 lbs, mine collapses under the weight of a 1 lb camera.

Never mind, guys. I found it. There are two tiny hex head screws just over the focusing shaft at either end. Tightening these down increases the friction of the focuser.

I think I'm going to replace them with little rosette head screws so that I can use a light touch when using EPs and only the higher resistance when something heavy's attached.
