How do you tighten the tripod leg? I tried with allen key, but it didn't work too. Or I might did it wrong...

Hi Jason,

If it's a Gitzo tripod (which it very much looks like) you need to tighten one end (side) of the lock using an Allen key whilst holding the other one still with another Allen key, so that it doesn't rotate whilst you're tightening.

PM me if you need further details.
