I believe the base plate issue is mainly one of user error as opposed to product defect.
It\'s neither user error or product defect... it\'s purely a design defect (rooted in maximizing profit at the expense of [gear] safety). The \"Fix\" is not a solution for me (but Rube Goldberg would have liked it) so I\'ll come up with something to secure the plate on my 1325.
We\'re getting ready to buy a tripod for my wife but it won\'t be a Gitzo. Hell, even Benro knows better than to implement such a poor design!

this design has been around for in excess of 10 years now. and only recently does it become an issue
