Hi Moose and Walt,
Things get a little more complicated using the Manfrotto 141RC head, if you
have a Winder attached. Screwing the QuickRelesase plate to the 85~250
collar and rotating 180 degrees will do, there is just enough clearance for
the Winder; but there is none for the 65~116 :-(
It's a PITA to uninstall the Winder just to see if one shot could be framed.
OTOH, the141RC (old style, with large all-black knobs) is such a beautiful
thing...
Fernando.
