[QUOTE="Robert Mitchell, post: 86691, member: 11282"] Glad that worked out for you. I guess some people need to remove the ball head or switch them around often. For me, once I tightened those screws down I pretty much knew I wasn't going to be taking the head off unless I was getting a new one, so after the initial tightening I wan't concerned about that particular (in)convenience. :) The only way I can see it coming off is if you're shy with the screw drive and don't tighten it down sufficiently. I've had the head mounted for about a year with a lot of abuse and location shooting out of the studio. Those screws are as tight as the day I tightened them. If you're feeling insecure about that you can always back the screws out a little and add a drop of Loctite and then tighten. Those screws surely won't come out unless you intend on removing them. Good luck in your search for a bag. [/QUOTE]
