Since I finished the install so late yesterday, I did not get a chance to really test out the new add ons. But today I went out and did some checking. Without the stabilizers locked, I pushed on the pin box and could move the BH quite a bit. I had not done that before and now I understand all the movement when I did not use the tripod. Ok, when I locked down the stabilizers, I tried the same test pushing the pin box as before and I had a little more movement than I wanted, but noticed I did not get one of the nut & bolt at the pad tight. After tightening the bolt, I pushed agian and was very happy that I could not move the BH. These stablizers are made by BAL, and are a lot less than the other brands I checked out.
