As title, anyone have any idea how to remove?
Thanks in advance.
most likely people buying Markins ball head but want RRS QR plate which is one of the best.
Sorry - correction. Should be RRS QR clamp (not plate). RRS has one of the best QR clamp (see photo)most likely people buying Markins ball head but want RRS QR plate which is one of the best.
I inquired Markins about removal of clamp and this is their reply:
"The clamp is fastened by a high strength Loctite for performance and security. It can be unscrewed by high impact. You can follow the instruction below.
1. Remove the head from tripod and hand-hold it.
2. Tighten the tension to maximum.
3. Using a plastic hammer (to prevent cosmetic damage to the clamp) hit the clamp knob such a way that the clamp turns counter-clockwise against the head.
4. Continue it until the clamp is separated.
If you have more questions, please feel free to contact us again.

Thks neoro, so far how is the RRS clamp? Much better then markins?
can i check to use the RRS QR clamp, wat plates to get for canon 40D? or izit a universal plates dat fix most camera?
Get a Arca Swiss compatible plate would do, cheaper ones Benro, Kanrompoochee (sp?), better ones (so call) Arca Swiss, RRS, Markins
If you're using the L plate, only the one from RRS themselves works best on the Quick Release Clamp, if you have bought a different L plate other rhan RRS, you may try, but it may not be that compatible from my previous research..
Hope that helps

Guys, I really appreciate all your input and sharing.
I think I will still consider removing current QR and replace a RRS over it.
1st thing 1st, get RRS QR...
:think:
Thanks...
If you have no need for the Markins clamp, you can mail it to RRS to get $20-30 (can't remember exact amount) discount off the price of RRS QR clamp.
