Is this suitable for heavy camera setups?

Troubleshooting
Rods feel loose after tightening wingnuts.
Ensure the wingnuts are fully tightened. Check that the 15mm rods are clean and free from obstructions. If the issue persists, the internal clamping mechanism might be compromised; consider using a different railblock.
1/4'' screws do not fit securely.
Verify you are using the correct 1/4''-20 screws. Ensure the threads in the railblock are clear of dust or debris. Do not overtighten screws, as this can strip the threads.
Wingnuts are difficult to turn.
Gently clean the wingnuts and their threads. A small amount of lubricant might help, but use sparingly to avoid attracting dust. Ensure no debris is caught in the threads.
