Hey,
Ive had a Gitzo GH1780 ball head for just over a year now.

Lately its been developing a bunch of play where it pans left/right. Its not a huge issue but I'm also noticing that when I lock this part in place the whole head shifts diagonally a little bit.
While this may be well used, its not abused: I've only had a MQC 5x7 on it (rated for 22lbs) and I certainly don't kill orcs with it (chinchillas, yes. Orcs never).
This is my first ball-head. I think it should be warrantied. But before I deal with getting it replaced/fixed I want to make sure that this isn't something that inherent in this head or gitzo ball heads. If it is, I'll fight to get another head. If it isn't maybe I just have a dud.
Thanks
