Re: Alternatives ballhead to Markins Q10i


yes, i think i do. basics are you don't lube a surface that you want to in the end have good grip. like i said the polymer material that supports the ball is the low friction surface. keep it clean and set up the drag reasonable and it should function.

oh, you can lube the ball if you wish but then you will need to increase the locking force to make up for it and most likely induce another issue.

i did look up operating temps of some advertised gun oils -60F to way up there. but then there is the attraction of particulate matter to a surface and what affect might said oil have on the polymer parts.

do you want to have a ball joint or a ball head?

so far in my travel
