Hold on a sec, I'll go grab a few pics to show you what I mean.

Looks a bit like a hex screw. Good eye(it does come out), I've never looked at it that close given my disappointment level.

It was ~$50 and is exactly what I wanted:  it works with my RRS plates provided I take the safety pin off (it's just a hex screw). The only weird part so far is as you tighten the ball that last bit to make it solid it moves the composition a slight bit each time. But for a $50 acra compatible head, I'll take it. My Gear List
