Like others have indicated, it may be caused my the QR plate
more than the head.  I do experience this with mine, and have
observed that the QR plate isn't usually held as tightly as it
is in the big 3-way head.

As far as expensive QR plates, I have something like three or
four of them.  Bought two tripods, so that accounted for two of
them, was given one and bought the fourth.  I can load up all of
my cameras with them.  It is kinda funny seeing an XA with a hex
plate on the bottom and mounted on a 3221 tripod.

What I want to know is what LARRY recommends.  <smile>
