I bought this and noticed that the spring loaded small part in the mount is freely moving without spring. Is it normal or this is a defect?

Do you mean the release lever? If so, yes, the item is defective. I have not noticed any free moving parts on my TC.

There is a little movement, but nowhere near anything that I'd consider a bounce. Very happy with this mount!

I only have a single mounting point and do not have this occurrence. However, I have this model on three of my rifles and find no issue.

No, the curve of the mount sits nicely on the receive and once it's tapped and screwed, they don't move. And I have mounted a larger scope on mine and it's still good and tight.

I think you may have put it together wrong. The spring does not go in the tube, it is on the outside. I ran into this same problem then realized that I had things a little backward. The instructions leave something to be desired, but if you study the picture on the box, it will be clear.

Greetings. You may check the vidoe for the mount process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV7IRSV17S0 Thank you.

For me I just set the rounded depression on the bottom of the light on the handle bar. I took the smaller rubber band and wrapped it over the front groove of the mount, then stretched it under the bar and over the groove on the back of the mount. The tension in the rubber band held it tightly in place. Please tell me what is happening for you and I will try to help.

For this price, I would send it back. It sounds as if the screw or the hole that the screw goes into has been stripped. Hence, the mirror not keeping its horizontal position. I haven't had any problems with mine so far.

Hello Penky, I had to drill hole in top (comes off easy) to accept the mount screw, I works fine, hope that helps

Not sure on that. Seems like it should be fine. It really is a good mount. Clean looking too. I think it would be worth trying. If no go...send it back. Good Luck.

No problem... Works great. You will have to get a washer from Home Depot and place it between the mount so it won't fall. Cheap fix, you will see exactly where when you get it. My wife loves it.

There is some truth to this problem. The light mounts with a plastic strap that is tightened with a lever (think of a ski boot buckle). The problem is that the lever doesn't really stay tightened, and you have to push it back into place. However, I haven't noticed this loosening going over bumps, etc., it's just that at the end of a ride, you tighten the strap again. A minor design defect and not a big deal. I like the light.

Yes. It tends to losen up but they supply a hidden hex wrench to tighten it. The design is simple and not big and bulky. Very nice mount!

It could be that a tiny obstacle has entered your camera and caused this, or that the mechanics of the cover have been compromised, or that there's a glitch in the 'computer' workings of the camera. I have seen this in many other makes and models, and if your warranty doesn't cover it then try to manually move it one way or the other. Most likely a spring came loose. Bummer, though.

I've had mine for some time now. There does not appear to be any functionality issues while mounted or elsewhere.

I just checked. It spins around, moves up-down, forward and backward. I didn't see anyway of removing it form its mount. Didn't want to manipulate it to much.

Actually, there must be something extraordinary taking place. I am using the clamp as you mentioned and it is a relatively tight fit without a lot of wobble. There is supposed to be a brass/bronze bushing in the hole in the clamp, if it is no there then it would be very wobbly.Hope this helps.
