Stringreen, how is the 3D tonearm doing?

I've always found uni-pivot arms to be finicky to set up but this one is really difficult.
The counterweight does not lock in place with a set screw or rotate in and out around a threaded rod. It relies on the friction created by two O-rings inside the weight.
Here's the rub; for this to work the friction must impede the weight from sliding. Sliding the weight is requires to set tracking force. More than gentle pressure is requires to slide the counterweight. The result is a sticky situation.
All this done while balancing the arm on the head of a pin.

The black 3D arm looks cool & sounds good on the Aries 3. I just wish there was a better way to set up the arm.

The SS CI Device is great for fine tuning once the weight & balance are roughed in. Getting to the roughed in point is difficult. Without the SS CI, set up would be impossible for me.

Hiendmuse,
I don't see a set screw on the 3D.

Stringgreen,
Do you have the "new" weight for the 3D?
Mine came with the SoundSmith device but was still tough to get right.
How does the "new" counterweight work?
Thanks,
