i have 3 of their tripods and 2 are used extensively. on all tripods over time the legs will start to move easier. they pretty much stay as i have adjusted them to taste. in fact my TVC24 was purchased used and i haven\'t touched it. of course the case(s) here were somewhat more so. it is the simple act of maintenance. these tripods were designed to be disassembled and reassembled. you simple adjust the the snugness to taste. if you wish you put a dot of loctite blue on the thread and go forth and shoot after it cures completely. when some one says they never adjusted a gitzo leg that means it spent much too much time in the closet. it to is designed to adjust. in fact essentially both tripod have roughly the same type of connection design. the differences are RRS uses Allen wrenches and Gitzo uses Torx these days.
