<p>Is there anyway to lubricate a Manfrotto 322RC2 Grip Action Ballhead?</p>

<p>Are you sure you only need to lubricate it? Might it also need to be cleaned? I have two of the earlier model, the 3265. I needed to clean each a couple of times, but never needed to only lubricate them. I don't have it in front of me at the moment, but as I recall, there are about 4 star / <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torx">Torx</a> screws holding the two halves together. Because of the spring tension, it was a bit of chore taking it apart and getting it back together, but, if you are used to working with mechanical things, it can be done. For example, when disassembling and reassembling it, I think I left the ball attached to my monopod as a way to orient and apply pressure to that part. </p>

<p>They need lubrication?<br>

I've got the 322 <em>and</em> the 222 and neither has never shown any symptom I would interpret as evidence of needing grease or whatever. What are you seeing that leads you to that conclusion?</p>

<p>I tried to adjust the tension lever adjuster and it seems to work alot better now. Thanks every one!</p>
