Default Advice on Manfrotto 410 head

Just wondered if anyone has any experience in fixing a Manfrotto 410 head?

The vertical/horizontal section of mine seized up the other day so disassembled that section, couldn't see anything obviously wrong so reassembled it. It first appeared that it had fixed the problem but am now left with a slight (about 5 degree) rocking movement in that section and can't seem to see what's causing it!

I could just send it to their service dept. for repair but have feeling it's something quite simple... any advice will be gratefully received.

Paul

Hi Paul,

I vaguely remember having a slight "looseness" on my 410 not long after I bought it. I resolved it by taking off the covering sticker with the degree graduations on it and tightening the central screw that lies underneath. Of course, which one you need to remove depends on the axis with the slack ;-)

Regards,
Mike
