I'm wanting to replace an older SBH-100 ball head ...

I'm wanting to replace an older SBH-100 ball head that is on an Alta Pro 264AT tripod with the newer Arca-Swiss Alta BH-100 head but I wanted to know if I can attach the "three legged thing" (QR-11 LC) L bracket to it without any issues?
Asked by: Richard
Simpler to replace the clamp on the existing SBH. Numerous clamps available.

Is this ballhead compatible with the Peak Design standard plate?
Asked by: Domingo
This ballhead has a safety pin with its own release. Most plates have two screws in the bottom to do the same thing. For these to fit properly, remove those two screws.

question

I can't seem to get my plate off because of the screw. Without unscrewing the screw from the bottom how do I depress the screw to release the plate?
Asked by: michael
Tilt the plate slightly upwards from the side that doesnt have the little pin. And when I say the side, the plate slides front to back when the screw is loosened
