Hi,
today I went shopping to buy a mini DV head cleaning tape and came home with a Manfrotto 501HDV tripod head as well. The plan was to replace the 128RC head I currently have on my 055PROB as it has a number of features that will make it a more stable platform when using my Sony FX7 video camera. However I have encountered a problem. Does anyone know the secret of separating a 128RC head from the top plate? I obtained this trypod with head already mounted but as far as I am aware I should be able to unscrew it and screw the new one on but so far I have been unsuccessful and do not want to risk damageing it in the attempt. Can anyone offer any suggestings. Thanks
