Q: 9. I have connected the arm to the tripod head. The tripod head is NOT removable. Unfortunately, it has a quick release plate and the weight of the camera (attached to the arm) causes this part to lift out of the tripod and threatens to break. What do you suggest I do to attach the camera arm securely to the tripod? Thank you.

A: Clamp it to a leg or the center shaft. Given the weight you need a real sturdy tripod.

Q: 10. How would I set up the Manfrotto 196B2 to clamp onto an art easel and hold a IPad PRO ?
