Er, well, I've cocked the hammer on a Bogen/Manfrotto 229 (used to be 3039) three-way head to mount my big heavy 16+ lb. Cambo on a tripod for now and a camera stand later on. I have been using a much smaller ball head up until now, and it’s just not cutting it. In fact, this morning I accidentally unlocked the ball and very nearly lost my camera to the floor. It was scary and so now I’m buying this.

I'm just worried about that smallish looking hexagonal QR plate. This thing is rated to handle 26 pounds, so I guess I'll have to take Manfrotto's word for it...but it just looks so small to me.
Does anyone have any experience with Manfrotto's six-sided "Rc0" QR system with a heavy monorail camera? And also I am curious as to whether you can mount them in any of the six possible directions?
