Every couple of years, it's a good idea to gather up the most commonly used parts of your large format kit and give them a tune-up. Today I'm cleaning up my Induro CT414 tripod, Majestic geared tripod head, and 8x10" Tachihara field camera for an upcoming trip.

How often are you checking up on your large format kit? Let me know in the comments!
