I don't own this tripod, but we do have 2 other Bogen tripods and two Bogen monopods. In each case, these have been shipped with a plastic and/or metal tool to tighten leg nuts. Newer units have a plastic tab over some of these: they are the offending bits that have to be tightened. I don't know what size they are, but I'm sure a standard socket set has the appropriate socket. Firm those guys down and remember to carry at least one of the Bogen sockets in the field.
This is the "curse" of the Bogen system.
BTW, thanks for your reply to ZooPrimes. Haven't decided what to do yet....
