Why Is EVERYONE Buying This Tripod? Manfrotto 055 502AH Review

[@PhillipRPeck]

You should be able to pull out the plate locking knob which allows it to rotate freely, then you can push it back in when it's in better position to tighten the plate fully. That's how you avoid it interfering with your camera

It helps, but still gets easily blocked and is cumbersome in a lot of situations. A better design like on the 500 head would've solved that entirely.

Nothing wrong with sticking with what you have, what's your current tripod?
