I just checked mine and it shows the same "issue". I wonder if this will severely affect damaging the camera body...
Mine already has a small faint line on my camera body... grrr!

Most tripod/monopod heads can drop to a 90-degree orientation, with a full tilt feature like the head you link, or a drop-notch on a ballhead. The issue is that when in portrait orientation, the center of mass is not directly over the axis of support, meaning you're fighting gravity which can lead to instability (and with a monopod, fatigue since you're supporting more of the weight). The 'big L bracket' has the advantage of keeping the mass centered.

That is science of tilt heads and of gravity, yes, and that's why really right stuff made this tilt head because it can handle a 1dm3 and 70-200 on the side if i want. I have never felt it strain to hold things in place. There is no other tilt head that can handle the weight this one does. That is why i bought it. I have had ballheads, still have a Manfrotto pinch grip head and all that junk, i prefer this powerful smooth tilting head. It doesn't drop things out of center much either. Besides that I'm kinda done luggin a tripod to weddings anymore and when i need low light or portrait assistance this is my setup. Its kinda like the Leica of tilt heads it functions for one thing and does it well.

Everyone that have this problem should call and complain... hopefully they will address this issue and get us a replacement. I'm really sad my brand new 5D3 already has a scuff on it already :(
Mike Miami:
Obviously a rushed product from RRS. I have RRS heads and plates and all are perfect. This is unlike RRS. Hopefully RRS reworks the plates and offers updated ones to the early buyers. Anxiously waiting to see the Kirk version before ordering.
