Q: 3. How does one keep it from unscrewing when panning left? I can't figure this out. Frustrating.

A: If you look on the underside of the top plate that the head is screwed into, you will see a single set screw. Using a small flat head screwdriver, tighten that screw.

Q: 7. Does this 290 allow you to change heads to a photo application?

A: The Manfrotto 290 Xtra Aluminum Tripod with 128RC Micro Fluid Video Head (B&H# MAMK290XTA32) is a combination of the Manfrotto MT290XTA3US 290 Xtra Aluminum Tripod (B&H# MAMT290XTA3U) and the Manfrotto 128RC QR Micro Fluid Head (B&H# MA128RC). The tripod may be used with many other heads, and the head may be used with many other tripods. So, yes, you could remove the 128RC QR Micro Fluid Head and replace it with a head that is more commonly used for taking still photographs.

Q: 8. Not being an expert on tripods, could this one also be used as a regular fixed tripod for taking photos?

A: There is nothing to stop you from taking photos while using this head, however the camera will only align in a landscape position. To turn the camera in to portrait you will need an L-Bracket such as the Manfrotto Q2 L Bracket. https://bhpho.to/3kOx64f
