How to avoid tension loss when tying off Part 2

Now I ran the main on the left side of the racket to the top, the third cross to the right, the last main down the racket, and finally the last cross to the left of the racket to complete the stringing.

Now it is time to tie off the top cross. Remember this string has been strung for a while and I will tension it again to get the clamp off. Then I tie the cross, mark the string, release the clamp to see the difference in tension loss. It may be hard to see at the different angles but it only moved slightly. After tying the bottom cross I took the racket out of the stringer and jumped on it with both feet x200 times then banged it on the end of a bat x1000 time to simulate play. It is raining here today. The three pictures below show the top cross when marked, when the clamp is released, and after simulated use.
