Haven't used a friction head before. When setting the friction, do you turn dial all the way down til it locks the head and just down enough to hold the camera in place? Also, when you squeeze the grip handle, does that release the tension to make it easier to reposition the camera? If so, is there any reason why you wouldn't notice the change in the tension when squeezing the handle? On the one I have, everything seems to work, but there is no noticeable change in tension when I squeeze the handle. Doesn't seem right to me. Any help from someone who owns a 322rc2 will be appreciated.
