Although the evaluation copy, which I have for a long time in my hands, operates very smoothly and has not shown any issue regarding the base lock lever, I contacted Desmond, who verified that there were some faulty copies in the initial production batch. In this respect you can return it for an exchange within the warranty period.<br />However, I regard your comment about "ridiculously heavy" as unsubstantiated since according to my measurements DLB-66 weighs 262gr bringing it among the lightest leveling bases in its class, only by 22gr heavier than the lightest and quite lighter than the rest.Sotiris C.
