Troubleshooting

On rare occasions, due to the  strength of the locking mechanism, the head may not unlock.
If this happens, turn the tension dial to its minimum setting. Tighten the locking knob by turning it clockwise to its maximum tightness. Then turn it counterclockwise to loosen it. The ball head should move freely.
