If I understand the question (I own another Sirui head)...what I attach to the scope is the tripod plate, not the head. The plate attaches to the scope easily but it is not something I would screw and unscrew regularly as that would be a bit of a pain.

If I had to use the same tripod/head in a different instrument, I would consider getting a second plate for that second intrument to prevent having to screw and unscrew.

Melanocephala,

Like Gzoladz74 I am not sure I understand your question . Do you mean you have a problem with the scope unscrewing itself from the head or do you mean that you have a problem unscrewing the scope from the head yourself ?

Unscrews itself.

What I find the the plate of my tripod head is that tightining it only with my hand is not enough a it remainds very loose. I use a screwdriver to tight it a bit more. The plate also has a second pin that goes into the scope second hole to prevent it rotating (hence, unscrewing itself).

Wrap a little plumber's PTFE tape around the thread before screwing it into the scope foot. This is the simplest & most cost effective way to minimise 'scope twist'.
