The screw you complained about has been changed to a better design, however, the QR plate won't tighten up securely, even with the knob as tight as it can be. Second issue is that the whole QR assembly wobbles on the shaft that supports it & I see no way to tighten it. Only moves about 1mm, but very annoying...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-45378694570842665372010-11-14T22:10:52.525-08:002010-11-14T22:10:52.525-08:00I was able to get a newer copy of this KS-0 ballhe...I was able to get a newer copy of this KS-0 ballhead. It got beautiful finish. The plate, balls & knobs works well. The locking plate screw has now a foldable holder. Unfortunately, the base doesn't sit well and there's always an up and down play which specially magnified with a heavier &/or a longer lens. And after a week, it(the base) leaks. Hence, I have to get rid of it and reinstall my tilt & pan head while I wait for the ballhead with more proven reputation. The only saving grace is that it's cheap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
