G70 Lift knob self loosening under load

Hi Gang,

Today I flew my rig in the comforts of the rental house. After a couple of hours my arm suddenly started to sag and lose tension. I looked down to see how the rig was getting heavier and watched the lift knob (near the socket block) circle and loosen as the bottom section of my arm drop away.

I proceeded to tighten it back to a comfortable operating position and started booming up and down. I could recreate the problem and found a ‘sweet’ (or not so sweet) spot where the lift would wind out.

Has anybody ever experienced this before?

Thanks

P.S I was so in the moment I didn’t take a video
