Doe this thing wobble at all? My other rail has the sliding piece on the inside and it has a lot of play. does this thing have play?

No wobble or play with the slider piece itself. However, it's really hard to not have the rail shift due to camera weight when the rail is mounted on a single tripod. For best results, I'd recommend using either two tripods, or use the rail with the included feet on a table or floor. The build quality on this slider is outstanding.

Yea man it all depends on how u want to use it. It'll wobble if your not gentle. But if you take your time with it, and in my situation use the base of my camera to move the slider, it'll work out. But if what you're looking for is a slider that will almost always generate clean slides get something better.

It does have a smidge of play. I would not buy this again. Go for Konova or the Kamerar. I know the Kamerar is good, I have one of those too.

it doesnt wobble but it does skip allot. i would not get this if i were you. get the ones with rollers. im sure they dont skip. i only used it once and never used it again. i regret getting this.

Ehhhh never had a problem with it being wobbly. It's a plastic on metal slide, so the more weight you load on to it the harder it is to slide. it worked well with my t3i, But when I upgraded to a 5d I also upgraded to the konova. I recommend spending the extra cash for the konova if your going to be using this often. If your just planning on using this for fun it gets the job done hope this helped!

I did a lot of research about wobble in sliders...and found that most hinged legs cause most wobbles. This slider is very stable. The gel cushioning in the plate really help to eliminate shakes and wobbles. I use a 15 mm rail on my plate and turn them around so I can use the rails to grab ahold of to slide. I understand a handle tripod mount would work just as well. But the double Mount I use with the 15mm rail has more play in in than just the basic slider plate. The small leg mounts are nice and quick and not bulky. I recommend this slider to professional and starting out. Be careful locking down the tightener when moving the slider with the end lock plate removed. Your camera will slip right off.

Yes, there is some play. I use it for wedding videos because it is easy and fast to set up and very mobile. With effort you can achieve quality shots, but you are getting what you pay for (it's cheap). You can view some shots I captured with it on my vimeo page: https://vimeo.com/user763649

Depends on the tripod. If it's on a flat surface it isn't too bad. One thing I would've liked was an easier slide. It sticks occasionally and can be difficult to get consistent, fluid shots.

I honestly don't know. It does have some weight to it. I have had no problems using the rail.

If you manually move the train is moving, but without inertia, that is not freely rolling after you release the steam engine, and by pressing the start button a smooth move, only the first day creaked badly now everything is fine. Generally train is great, kids love, especially to fill the locomotive, only fueling already lost. If you're buying and if resources permit, immediately take additional rail kit, or a large set.

This works very well no wobble. Just be sure to attach it well you have a couple of options i just put a board under the table as a back up and turned the screws. It is very nice.

I have the same problem but, funny enough, not with the rail itself, which is quite tight on mine, but with the screw that tightens where the rod from the light stand is inserted.

My dining room is carpeted and I have not noticed any wobbling. My husband put together the chairs and he is very meticulous and made sure there was no wobble. I have a glass dining room table and the chairs are a wonderful compliment to it. I am very happy with them!

Mine works fine, but I did need to adjust the screws that tighten and loosen the mechanism that slides on the vertical rails. I have no issues with racking the bar or with play and tilting.

I Dug my hole deeper and wider than instucted. I eneded up using 15 bags (80LBS bags) of concrete. I also added more rebar than what came with the anchor. Also make sure to dig you hole in a bell shape. Under normal play, we do not notice any wobble. More aggressive play (dunking, hard bank shots) there is some, but barely noticable. If you alreay have your system set, this is probabaly not much help.

Yep. It screeches as I peddal which is very annoying. I believe the problem is that the seat is held to the rail with a single screw, the one that determines the location on the rail. That's where it wobbles, I don't see any way to remedy this other than trying to stuff something in the gap between the rail and the seat holder. Very poor quality.

no wobble was found when i use it. If the drill is properly centered in the chunk when it is tightened it should work as designed

There is an adjustment to keep the saw tight on the track. I haven't had any issues with wobble. The safety trigger take some time to get use to. I don't regret buying this saw.

There is no wobble or play in the swivel head and there is an allen head bolt that goes through if you would ever need to tighten it up, but I haven't had to at all it's pretty solid

Yes i noticed that to. Mine does not do that. Its rock solid on the rail. I have been shooting 23/4, 3in shells and it has not moved at all and is still spot on. Hope that helps.

Mine didn't wobble at all. I got a hitch put on my civic at uhaul. It was such a tight fit I had to scrap the paint off to get it to fit in.

Slide has always been smooth for me. The sawdust can cake up on the joints so I suppose I can see the possibility....but not if it's (a) aligned properly at the outset and (b) cleaned occasionally.

mine wobbles a bit too. I believe the grinding mechanism is soft mounted to reduce stress on the parts, and that means a bit of movement when working. I don't believe either of us has anything to worry about.

Yes, my fan has some play but it feels like it is 'spring-loaded'; I thought it was intentional so it wouldn't go from pointing up to pointing down without a sturdy push into position. It feels to me as though the play is intentional; so that the movement of the fan blades wouldn't cause the entire thing to wobble.
