My inexpensive tripod has a little plate that screws onto the camera and then the plate is what actually mounts to the tripod. Screwing the plate on and off the camera is a pain, so I just leave the plate on the camera all the time. Then it's just a matter of mounting the whole thing to the tripod with the little latching lever; much less work. Also, I tend to leave the various adjustment knobs for the head tight enough that they don't move with the weight of the camera but loose enough that I can move them manually without adjusting the tension.
Hope this helps.
