The flip levers that lock the legs are so convenient and quick to use. I've been using this one at work for 38 years: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Gear/SafeLok_Tripod_AMR.jpg.html> Whatever tripod I use, I can't stand quick-release plates. I don't like to add more weight and bulk to a camera.
