Crucially for me this means I can't read PMs that come in. The only time I use my laptop these days is at work (when I'm not on PU), and then when editing photos at home.
Am I missing something or is this really omitted from the mobile site?

Thanks for the link, Carl. Just tried it but it doesn't seem to help. It does make me feel that this is a fault and not the result of damage I've caused. Perhaps a bumpy car journey will sort it out?
Oddly I was happily taking photos with it, stopped for 5 minutes with it in my hands, then it was locked up when I came back to it.

No amount of reasonable force will allow it to fully extend. When it reaches 135mm it makes a pronounced click noise.
I've not dropped it, knocked it or mishandled it. Just plain stopped working.
I'm guessing it needs a repair, but anything I can try to do to resolve it while I'm away? There are dolphins swimming by outside and seals just up the shore. Would love to be able to get some pictures of them!

We missed it after 5 minutes, none available but strangely now the price has gone back up they are back in stock!

I'm secretly hoping (well not so secret now!) that the USAF will send their F22 raptor display. They don't have another published commitment that weekend and the RIAT website says they are still negotiating with USAF...

http://shop.nodalninja.com/lens-foot-1-replacement-foot-for-pentax-da-60-250mm-a... Not a massive difference in height but nevertheless looks like an improvement. You'd probably want to ask for exact dimensions. Maybe it would give your thumb enough wiggle room?

Ooh that looks interesting. Seems like it could solve the problem perfectly, although another $50 + P&P! It is actually way smaller. That plate on the bottom is not included. It's just the bracket bit that's in your first link. That then has the 1/4" tripod mount on it.

That bracket may help but it would make my setup even more bulky.
