If you don't manually lock the pin...it ain't locked. The one I am referring to
locks automatically when the two plates are snapped together. Here is a
diagram?? of the plates and how they work. I 'think' it is understandable. It
is at: http://ConverseCorner.com/bogen.htm

Oh ya... I am in no way affiliated with Bogen. :-) I just like these plates
that will adapt to anything you have.
