Oil probably isn't what you want. Better getting some kind of dry lube.
I found some stuff called Tri-Flow at a bike shop. Liquid when it comes out of the bottle, but dries to a film that doesn't attract sand or dust. On 3/16/2018 10:17, Paul Stenquist wrote:
I use a large heavy-duty Sirui bullhead when shooting off a tripod with big glass. It’s been excellent for several years, smooth and solid. But I think it may have picked up a few specks of dirt here and there, and now it has a bit of a tug and hesitation in its movement. I’m wondering if anyone has tried lubricating a bullhead with light oil. I think that may make matters worse by attracting dirt. I can clean it somewhat by rotating it to extreme positions while wiping it down, but that doesn’t seem to fully solve the problem. Is lube okay or a bad idea?
