This head either locks tight or flops about with no tension.
Trying to adjust it to something in between seems impossible, partially slackening it off doesn't help with the smoothness much (if at all) but it does introduce an annoying rocking action.
The locking knob seems to tighten onto a large silicon? washer inset into the head. I wondered if adding a little bit of silicone grease (I have some that came with my Gitzo tripods) between the washer and where it sits against the head, might just introduce enough slip to make this work better.
I know I could just try and then rub the grease off if it didn't work, but does anyone have any better suggestions.
Thanks.
