I noticed the screw attached to the plate can be turned but wont come out and has an allen-wrench attachment to it. My question is, every time I want to put the plate onto my 7D do I need an allen-wrench? Also, does anyone just leave the plate on 24/7?

It wont come out, but it moves. I thought they didn't move. At least that how my cheap 1st tripod was. Gear "A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others"
