I have a vinten vision 3 tripod and a sony dsr 370 and the other day notice it was impossible to get a steady shot, due to the camera moving from side to side in the tripod plate.

The camera is locked in but there is a small amout of play that allow the camera to wobble. I've check the plate - had it apart, cleaned it, made sure all screws are there, no springs missing, etc.

Does any ony have any idea way and how to fix it? Does any one have the same problem?

Any help greatful for.

Kind thanks in advance.
