Mine has a quick release plate that's pretty convenient.. I don't use it except to put the camera/binoculars on or off.. it's not like I have 2 sets of stuff that i'm interchanging.
The handle that winds the head up, it's geared I think but it can still slip down if the tension control thing is too loose. There's a round adjuster at the bottom of that centre column that you can tighten to make adjusting it stiffer, and therefore not likely to slip back down.
It's a good tripod for my lightweight camera.. it's no manfrotto but i'm not gonna spend $250 on a tripod either. I paid $70 off ebay.
If I used my binoculars more I'd need something more heavyduty, or something specifically designed for heavy binoculars (bino chair or something).
