Can I make my Manfrotto Head pans go softer?
Hi,
I have a Manfrotto 190 pro Head.. I think itīs the 700Rc in Bogen-US code. One thing I liked about this head is that it had smooth pans, but also they are not really soft, It had a bit of resistance that I felt very comfortable with, since Iīm a bit "Flintstone" with my hands. Anyway now I feel the pans are getting too hard. So I opened the Head to see itīs guts.. and I saw a rubber thing with some Lubricant (very much like a sticky grease thing)... My question is Can this libricant dry? I thouhgt this could last many years... Am I supposed to lubricate it? What can I do to make it pan softer? I thought Cold weather may have something to do.. but the Tilts are still soft... So maybe water had something to do? I got the tripod a few drops of water on it one day that started raining on me. Should I put some Crisco in there? :-)
