I wish it was that simple Andrew, but that is clearly not the case for our issues.The tripod collar ring attachment screw can get "stuck" at the ends of its rotation - I "VERY GENTLY" used a mole rip to "loosen" mine when it got stuck and then it worked fine. Just try not to "over-tighten" this screw at either end (loose or tight) -- all it is doing is applying friction to stop the lens camera rotating - it is not supporting anything so can be fairly loose.
Will be sending mine back to Nikon once my 2 trips are in the bag at the end of FEB, fortunately I won't be using mine on a tripod so it can wait until then.
