[QUOTE="PapaST, post: 171203, member: 8330"] I have a 498 and 496 and when I first started using them I noticed sag on my heavy lenses. One thing I started to do was adjust the friction knob in accordance to the lens I had on the tripod. Before I used to point above the subject and let it sag down to the object. Now I just point at the subject. When I have the friction knob set correctly it also gives a smoother/predictable pan or track when I release the lock knob. [/QUOTE]
