Stuck legs on EQ6 tripod
Hi guys
I'm having trouble with stuck legs on my EQ6 tripod. I'm talking about the extendable part.
Even with the locking screw completely undone, I can't pull the leg out any further to extend it - I can only extend it an inch or two before it gets stuck.
Yesterday I tried spraying some WD40 up the tube to lubricate it, but it still didn't really help. I even tried using some pliers to grab the leg (with the foot cap off) and pull it out, with success only on one leg.
Speaking of the foot caps, they come off too. I don't think that's too big a deal though.
So how do I get my legs unstuck? Do I have to take the whole black part off? How do I get that off? There's 2 small allen key screws in the black cover, but I undid those and nothing happened.
Appreciate any advice. It's a real pain trying to level the tripod when you can only extend 1 or 2 out of the 3 legs.
