Maybe I screwed it in to tight, I don't know! I've had the mount about 30 day's now. I emailed Orion with a picture of it. I haven't heard from them yet so I don't know what to expect. It looks to be riveted on the legs so I don't think I can replace the bracket. What do ya think? Doug Post Extras:       mayidunk Don't Ask... Reged: 02/17/10 Loc: Betwixt & Between...

As long as you're still under warranty, you should be all set.
