There were dents on the vertices near the knob. The customs inspector could have made them. Granted, its just a superficial issue. By the way, the box and the plastic bag were not damaged at all. The knob doesn’t turn easily. An inspection revealed a good amount of white powder in the knob. Seems like aluminum oxide, the by-product of aluminum corrosion. Luckily, I purchased the “bling” knobs. Cleaning the screw and little bit of grease on it with new knob made the adapter smooth. Disappointed at the outgoing quality control, otherwise perfect product.

This white oxide is something that ADM is working to resolve. It seems like a salt oxide that forms after the knob is installed. A small drop of oil seems to dissolve the salt but I am working with my anodizing company to prevent this problem from happening in the future. Thank you for your feedback. – ADM Accessories

Like all ADM products this adapter is well made and it will fit my purposes excellently. I am using it to mount a 90mm f/5.6 refractor on a Manfrotto tripod/head.
