Hi Lon, No pain, quite the contrary. I keep a 308RC ball head on the little plate that replaces the centre column and a 141RC 3 way head on the centre column. Of course the extra height and cantilever advantages are lost once the centre column is discarded but it loses no stability. Also the weight advantage of the plate and ball head allows me to carry the tripod to more places than I would otherwise. I can't find the parts listed as spares however I have 2001 Manfrotto product code to ean13 bar code list which has 29579 entries so I am sure that they exist.
