Adjusting a 4-Screw Secondary

Hi All,

What a difference an extra adjustment screws makes! Does anybody have any tips or tricks for making fine adjustments to a secondary holder that has four adjustment screws instead of three? Is it better to loosen them all a couple of threads then work with them all at once? Two at a time depending on where you want it to move?

To me, it seems exponentially harder to make fine adjustments using 4 screws instead of just three.

Any thoughts would be appreciated, unless you think I'm a moron; I'm already on the threshold of realizing that. wink
