Photographers tend to care greatly for cameras and lenses. Your tripod needs a little love, too. Tripod maintenance is essential to its longevity. It’s a little tedious, and let’s admit it, not the most enjoyable part of photography. But, if you don’t do it, you are cutting the life of your tripod short.
