How do you find yours - I see you've got a few big lens... how does the 75-300mm sit on yours in portrait mode. Any slippage or does it all lock up tight. I just look at all of these and feel that if I change to portrait mode it will all just tip over. Obviously it doesnt but it would be nice to bombard you with questions before I spend out all that money....
Thanks again

I know the feeling - it is a lot of money! I have never noticed any slippage at all with the 75-300, but that is a light lens (weighs the same as the 17-85mm IS kit lens). It has a maximum load rating of 6kg, so it should be fine for a heavier lens like a 70-200.
The only time I nearly tipped the tripod was when I had it set low down with the centre column horizontal to the ground and extended beyond the tripod leg, so it was off balance (I still had hold of the camera), but I hadn't fully extended the legs, so I just extended them and it was fine.
