Frage von amigo:
I have a good s.sich Carbon Tripod Company Walimex. However, I am with the cushioning properties of the head is not satisfied. He flick. Recently I have with silicone oil ct 10,000 experiments, is still too little cushioning. What substance can still use?
Antwort von Markus:
If the land where the damping fluid in the head effect should have worked properly (sorry, but something else, I would at Walimex-synonymous tripods not expect), then even the original of Sachtler fluid do not have the desired properties unfold.
Antwort von amigo:
Thank you! I have the tripod and get a gift of the processing since it does not make any bad impression. Also the head is very heavily used and stored, rotated, however, been little fluid inside. A chemist has advised me that my windows with silicone silicone oil to mix. Let's see. But what will the fluid made otherwise?
Antwort von Markus:
A chemist has advised me that my windows with silicone silicone oil to mix. I am a chemist synonymous, but this advice I do not. Silicone sealant hardens and that would be made for a smooth, uniform damping is not particularly beneficial.
Fluids in the tripod heads are high viscosity liquids, which are temperature-independent as possible and little (ie, not significant) transient behavior. As the exact composition looks like, I do not synonymous. This is rather in the field of corporate secrets Manufacturer of fall.

I've read where a report that the addition of ferromagnetic particles by applying a field to control the viscosity allowed. But that could probably only in research laboratories are made. Meanwhile werd ich with different silicone mixtures experiment. Umm since gabs ja noch Vaseline ....;-)
Antwort von Markus:
Vaseline would be better than perhaps Laboratory of fat to lubricate glass cuts. Of which I have here synonymous still have a tube around ...
