[QUOTE="blackstar, post: 814580, member: 47518"] I found a weird issue with my z6ii while setting it up/operating with z186 on a tripod + gimble head: occasionally, there came a tiny "wiggle" sound and movement from between the camera and the lens when I unintentionally turned my hand that was holding the camera. So I checked the connection and tested turning the camera purposely to see if it was my false detection previously. But it did wiggle and move a notch! And consistently so. I released z6ii from z186 (z186 stayed on the tripod) and connected both again. The issue persisted. Thinking if the body or the lens causes it, I then tested z6ii with z24-120 and z20. All had the same issue only that z24-120 moves (twisted) a little less than z186 and z20 a little less than z24-120. Three lenses with the body all twist and wiggle a little! (when fixing the lens and turning the body) It seems that no negative effect is placed on the normal operation of the camera system. On all tests and uses, the system never disconnected. I wonder if this is a normal design spec or a defect case with my z6ii? Have any z users (or DSLR users) noticed this issue? And so repair is needed or the issue is dismissed? Appreciate your input and help. PS. I remember when I used my z6ii with Sigma 150-600 and FTZ, this issue was very noticeable then too. [/QUOTE]
