i dont have a manfrotto but i am going to check that my 3 screws are still tight on mine.

Good shout,i often change the head on mine between ball and gimble so i guess i need to keep an eye on it.

Love the way the guy grabbed the camera body (w/ the grip) and used that to pull the thing off. Never buy used from this guy, he ain't easy on his stuff by a LONG shot.

"The guy" (AKA me) had this happen originally without much issue. I was trying to repeat how easy it was that it came apart.

There's no more done here than if I were adjusting the camera normally.

Nice video and good info. It just shows one more good reason NOT to carry your tripod with camera attached in the field as one unit. The QR is always a concern, and now the tripod itself.
