Do you have the lock nuts on yours? If not then let Tony know and he will post them. The supplier messed up with the first batch as lock nuts were in my design and they sent with regular nuts that work loose. 

I was sent 4 new nuts but its not the nuts that are the problem . Its the actual cam itself . But its holding now I have tightened it up till the cam lugs touch. The upper rod used to slide out of the middle rod but its stopped now , mostly .

Thanks for doing the repair to the hole. I understand any frustration with regards to that and trust me it was tough even evaluating the correct size as if we got it too big then they would have been 100% useless, too small was the better bet until enough feedback was available because as I mentioned mine was not OK and my mates was OK even with the exact same shaft. Just let Tony know you need the lock nuts and the black part for the handle and he will know what to send. If you don't want to wait for the nuts they are an M3. Thanks for your feedback and I am sorry that you have had these issues. I hope you will be satisfied in the field. :-)

Scott - left a note for Tony on the site's "contact us" web form.  Thanks for your responses.

Good info... I did not even know there were two different lengths and don’t even know which length mine is! :laugh: I just Googled and bought so will have to look info that. Was fine for length however whichever one it is, but good to know should I decide to get another.

We do a long 29" lower stem also Steve that we call the Tall boy. Its on our website at  www.detecting-innovations.co.uk  We sell that basically as the spare lower stem, if its too long for people they can always cut a bit off.

Just read this thread,

     I also bought one, which i believe is the newer verson! The website states that the the pod base on old versons was 3D printed! The newer versons are molded and fit better! As far as mounting the base, you have to pay attention to the angle of the mounts on both pieces, the screws do not go in at 90° degrees, and i can see where they could be mounted incorrectly and break the mounts!  I believe that the stock base from Minelab will only mount one way! That is not the case with the tel-knox! It is also possible to overtighten the screws on any pod base and strip the brass inserts from the pod! I would like to see torque specs from Minelab on these screws, no matter what shaft they are mounted too!

Also depending on swing style and speed, you may have to torque down the shaft clips a bit more than normal! I found the shafts could work loose when doing a rapid scan of a beach, rather than a slow and methodical search! Other than that, I've got about 20 hrs on it with no problems so far!
