My set screw is forever getting loose, causing the head to be *insecure* (it
will rotate in the horozontal plain even when the handle to secure that
movement is locked down tight).  I carry a screwdriver in my camera bag just
to keep the screw tight.  I've talked to another user of the exact
tripod/head that I have, and he has the same problem (and carries a
screwdriver).  Any suggestions about keeping the screw tight but not so
fixed that it can't be removed when you want to take the head off?
