I am the one who started this topic and I have a Tiltall that I bought back

on the base where you attach the camera always seems to twist off with time
and I'm not real sure what to replace it with. I do have a piece of old inner
tube I was thinking about trying to rubber cement in place and see if that
would work. Bill Barber
Not certain about the other brands (Gitzo, etc.). The bogen legs have a
3/8 inch threaded stud on a round plate for the head and setscrews on the
plate to keep the head from turning (and coming unscrewed). One can thread
the head on by hand and lock it into place with the setscrews instead of
torquing it on very tightly. IMO it's more secure.
It allows removing the head relatively easily by simply loosening the
setscrews. This can be handy if you have more than one head and change
them for the task at hand.
