    They are old and I think the spring that serves to tighten the ball socket bit has lost a great deal of material and strength to rusting.

    Is it just the things going askew that bugs you?
    The problem with the set I just got are that they twist out of position in the wind...not so much vibration of image.

        Then they would not be adjustable at all... and every once in a while it is handy to be able to change the viewing angle.

          Are we talking about the threaded portions, or the ball area?

              Ah, yeah. Maybe they are able to be disassembled?

                  How annoying, and dangerous, is that?
