question
I see the body is plastic to reduce weight. However, are the gears made of metal? I'm just afraid that if the gears are also plastic that they will wear quickly and lose precision.
Manfrotto uses very good quality material. In the light there have been no reports at B&H as to gears failing for this head, we feel confident that the gears here are more than up to the task. You should get many solid years of service out of this head.

question
I've seen some reviews on this head from some unhappy customers. How is the play and gears on this head? I typically shoot with a pan/tilt or ball head but lately I've been shooting much more product and design/architectural assignments. I like the reviews on the 410 Jr but I want to stick with the RC2/PL220 releases.
Thanks all! I did purchase this head. It just arrived but initially I am pleased with the build quality and precise adjustments. Thanks again for the input!

question
How do I get the head off my tripod or tripod extension? I cannot figure this stupid question. What the heck am I doing wrong?
Look UNDERNEATH the tripod center column mounting plate and youâll typically see 2 or 3 small inset steel set screws.
Use a medium-small flat head screwdriver to loosen these FIRST.
You typically donât need to remove them entirely, but you need to loosen them until they are nearly out of the plate in order to unlock the head from the column.
Once these set screws are loose, you can easily screw off the original head by hand.
Reverse the process to mount and lock a new head to the center column.

question
From what alloy is the 405 constructed, and how hard is it? Should the gears wear well over the long haul?
I can't answer the question directly, but I will say that I loaded it with a heavy camera and large lens and it performed well.
