It's the head that came on a Vanguard Tracker 2 tripod. The loose part is the tilt, allows the head to go from horizontal to vertical (right edge pointing to three o clock, rotating up to 12 o clock as you sit behind it)
There's a screw and barrel there that I took apart last night and tightened up, but it seems like there's not much more to tighten, aluminum may have just worn riding on a steel shaft?
I'm going to go try some out and look at the suggestions and hints.
Thanks, I appreciate any help provided!
Jon
