My Wimberley clamp came in today and I attempted to replace the 498RC2 clamp, but it ended up not working out. I think Manfrotto must be using some type of thread locker because the hex shape in the screw rounded before the screw came loose.

I'm not sure what direction to go now. Decisions, decisions...
