I am hoping someone has a solution to a problem I am having with one of the legs on my tripod. This is a 3 sec alum tripod and one of the top sections is very difficult to open and close. I have to apply a lot of pressure to get the leg section to move. The tripod is just over 1 year old and has mostly indoor or backyard use so it has not been abused or subjected to any extreme temperatures or weather.

Any advice?

Have you tried cleaning it? There should be a few write ups for Gitzos and different brands, but it should be the same idea.
