Humber & East Coast Not a catch report...

[Trampster]

I use a tripod similar to yours Rich. That front bar with the chain on should be horizontal when set up correctly. Worth spending some time before you go next time giving it a going over as they get corroded with salt air / water.
I pinch the old pan scrub out of the kitchen and give all the legs a good going over, particularly in the area where the bracing bar operates. I think you will find it should work a lot better then and make your next trip more enjoyable.

I've just had a go at my tripod this afternoon - took it apart & gave it a good clean. The part where the top rod bar fits was a bit loose so I figured out the cause, gave it a tap with a block of wood and all is well! Everything had a good wipe down with furniture polish before reassembly. ??

Thanks again, I think the tripod is unused but been in a shed for "a while". I'll dig it out and have a tinker ?
