    Where to have Arca B1 cleaned

    Hi,

    My Arca Swiss B1 ballhead is bit stiff from sand and dust. Where in UK can I get it cleaned?

    I used to send it to the Arca repesentative in Chicago when I live in US but I have moved to London since last year.

    Thanks
    Tao

    I imagine there are just a few screws to remove to open it for cleaning. They are simple mechanisms. Any camera repair shop should be able to do it. Try it yourself.

    I tried that once, and made a real mess of things. Take it to a shop that has experience with Arca. Call Arca in France, I'm sure they can direct you to someone.

    Tao, post the question on the UK based lf-photo.org site, someone there may know. Or, call Alex Falk at Mr Cad, he may know where to send it.
