I bought one and within a little while the ballhead will not stay tight. tried to tighten but no luck. Is it stripped already or faulty?

I really enjoy this monopod. I have had no problems and I use it regularly. Hopefully the company can resolve your issue.

It sounds as though your ball is not seated properly or the connection is not tight enough. I have had this model for nearly a year with no stability issue at all. My husband has used the same type for nearly three years and his is still very stable. Mine did come loose one time and I had trouble getting back on securely. Once I got it to 'snap' in place it has remained tight and moves only when I move it myself. If this is a new purchase I would suggest contacting the seller for replacement.

I haven't had any issues with mine. I'm not sure if this will help you, but maybe you can try this link. http://m.sportsunlimitedinc.com/basketball-hoop-parts-and-accessories.html

I was able to tighten with a coin or screwdriver. If that doesn't work then maybe it's defective.

Please look inside the coupling part attached to the hose and see if all three ball bearings are in place. My QuickBreeze started detaching after about a year because a ball bearing fell out.

Ehh, I bought one, but had to monkey-rig, re-tap the top ball.If I went to Home Depot I could have probably gotten the correct thread, but I pieced togehter what I had. The problem is that the socket/thread on the top of the pole is a non-standard thread (Coarse v Fine). I somehow got it to work. Not 'textbook' but i like the flagpole in all other ways that I ignore this problem :(

Maybe you need to tighten it. The o ring has to be just right. My husband had to try it a few times before it was on just right.

I have yet to experience that problem but I would suggest a sporting goods or hardware store and maybe look for a similar part. You might want to consider calling the manufacturer to possibly score extra parts.

I know they sell them for a few bucks. Could it be loose in the gear mechanism? You could always return it too back to Amazon

My guess is you may possibly could use another swivel plate for a ball head. There already is a spring loaded dual threads on the top of the plate.Would depend on the type of ball head you have. I hope this may answer your question.

That tells me that one of the locknuts has come out. Take off the rubber bottom and look at the mechanism. You can probably figure out what's wrong by watching it and seeing where it jams. They have a one-year warranty. If you bought it online, you have to send it back to the manufacturer for repair. I fixed my first one many times! Hint: Try not to put too much tobacco in the slot! When you have to pull hard, it wears out those little horseshoe shaped pieces.

This is a recent problem. I've had/ used 3 of these in the past year and never had that problem (All 3 are still fine, they just stayed with friends/ family). Just bought a new one a month ago and the handle was impossible to remove - now the bolt is completely stripped and I'm returning for a new one. Hopefully it was just a bad batch.

I'm not sure. Never tried to take it off, but the ballhead works really well.

I had a similar issue. I ended up drilling the hole a little larger and used a butterfly/toggle bolt. It pulled up tight and has been working well for about 6 months.

I don't know what exactly it could be but, the OEM nut came off without having to work very hard so when I reinstalled the new sensor I just estimated how hard it was to get off. Basically just torqued it down to finger tight and then two and half turns which made it pretty darn snug. Haven't had any issues yet! Sorry I can't help more.

Am sorry to hear one of the balls fell off. We never had any issues with the unit left in California nor the one we have now in Portland. My engineer husband suggests you contact the Prodyne folks for an additional ball, as parts like these are generally custom and would be somewhat expensive to replace. Good luck! Rebecca

mine is really loose and just pulls apart. They look like they're supposed to be twisted together but mine i just push the wide angle off with my thumb. Sorry, can't be of much help, but try pushing it!
