I have an old Manfrotto #168 ball head, mounted on an equally old Manfrotto #55 tripod. Both car boot bargains.
The motion has become rather "sticky" - I have to slack the tension right off before I can move it at all.
The ball itself is coated in "something black" and a quick GIS reveals that some example (older? newer?) have a shiny metal finish.
Is there anything I can do to improve the movement? Cleaning, lubrication, that sort of thing?
