Have pro bogen tripod and fluid head.
Seems like a gem, fluid, etc, but when panning side to side there is give, a "bump", "stutter" when you switch directions.
IE:
Imagine you are smoothly panning the head left, and stop. A few moments later you pan right, but at the initial start of the pan-right, there is a BUMP in the road, NOT fluid movement.
If you use continuous motion left, and immediate switch right, this still occurs of course.
I've used $70 tripods that work better than this, and am positive everyone knows what this feels like, and that it is inacceptable.
Is there a fix, bogen manual, etc, to take care of this?
Or, when this occurs with a pro tripod setup, it is signs of replacement and or/warranty fixing?
I have no experience adjusting heads or removing them, and even after fixing this, would like this information.
Thank you.
