Yes I went a bought a cheapie at wallyworld, but didn't expect it to squeek like it does. It is of plastic so it's plastic against plastic. And very loud when I am trying to film. Any small turn causes a long, loud squeek that over rides the video coming in. I tried wd40 thinking, well it is a lubricant, but no luck. dlt And we thought our hick accents were bad! The camera can be so cruel!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

i don't know if this will help your problem or not. but i remember my dad would us graphite to lubercate certain things. it was like a powder or something, i really can't remember but i think he used it on his reloaders instead of oil. i just remember getting in trouble and getting my butt whup for using it to draw pictures with it. i ain't had no use for it sense. hell i don't know if they still make it or where you can get it at. good luck

Thanks bsb, Joe thought of graphite too, but I'd already squeezed oil in as many cracks as I can find. The areas that are squeeking, don't come apart. We will just have to go with a more stationary camera position, or off hand. lt

good idea, but won't work. Will just work around the problem. Thanks for your suggestions.

I have bought a couple of real nice tripods at thrift stores for cheap.
