Some questions for a newly bought FS100

A good friend of mine bought one today and went together to check it out. They had 2 bodies in the shop. I saw that one of them had a tiny play in the plastic that covers the mount so not the actual mount. http://www.ohiohdvideo.com/images/products/SonyNEX-FS100.jpg to illustrate better the part with the screws wasn't moving just the silvery plastic collar seemed to have play in it.

The other body had an almost inexistent play. Is this something to worry about ?

Also we tried some generic Sony batteries but one would not fit and one would not start the camera (it only showed the SONY logo when powered up and after that nothing). Are there any other cheaper solutions other than original Sony batts ? We use similar ones on our Z5 and they work flawlessly.

Thanks.
 
I have no play in my silver color on my FS100. As for batteries, be careful, there are A LOT of counterfit Sony batteries out there. I just went with Sony because they last for like 7 hours, so that's good enough for me to just have 2.
 
2nd the genuine sony batteries. You can get cheap knock offs but the 970 version gives no where near 12 hours. also they tend to be weaker in their build, doesnt take more than a slight bump to make it loose.
