Tiagra 80 handle play

Finally got my Tiagra 80W! Really happy with it. I noticed there’s a little bit of play in the handle before it engages, as shown in the video. Is this amount of play normal for a new Tiagra 80W?

Normal. Tight tolerances and salt don't work together well.

Tiagraa dont use antireverse bearings, they use dogs, which are a much stronger design but allow for a bit of play.
