@TaylorC

Welcome to the WGAN Forum.

Once you get the Matterport Pro2 Camera unstuck from the Manfrotto 290 xtra tripod, I recommend that you use a quick release plate such as the:

Haoge 64mm Screw Knob Clamp Adapter Mount for Quick Release

You can see a short story about this quick release plate above or here:

Best,

Dan

P.S. Once you get it unstuck, please share with us how you did it.

What about trying WD-40?

That said, if you do, be super-careful to keep WD-40 off the camera lenses.

OK,I was able to get unstuck. I had to remove the middle post from the tripod, remove the rubber cap at the bottom of the middle post to see inside the post. There is a bolt head at the base of the middle of where the camera rests. This bolt is a 13mm and you will need at the least a 12" extension of a socket wrench. Doing this will remove the middle post from the camera leaving the plate on the camera.
I will be getting a quick release for the as it will put the tension on the plate rather than the camera.

Thank you all for the assist on this, I look forward to being able to help someone through this platform as i received the help I got!
