What the thread found

• Remove all components from the post and thoroughly clean the post interior and gimbal/grip interior with mild all-purpose cleaner and non-corrosive contact cleaner, as fine dust combined with humidity can lock mechanical assemblies.
• The VZ-Grip contains a shim sleeve whose tension can be adjusted using the PRO Gimbal tool after removing the gimbal; adjust with the clamp fully open, then re-tune clamp pressure.
• Inside the pan bearing are two recesses that can be adjusted with a tool to control friction.
• One operator reported temporary relief by setting the latch slightly looser than specified in the service video.

Depends on

• Adjustment depends on climate conditions before and after travel.
• Effectiveness varies with dust contamination during transport.
