tripod collar attach?


How does the tripod collar attach to the tripod head?

I currently have a Canon Elan 7E and hope to purchase a Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Lens. My tripods include:

*486RC2 head on 3001BD tripod
and
*3047 head on a 3021. Both are Manfrotto Bogen tripods.

Will I be able to keep the quick release heads on the tripods, or will I need to purchase a special head for the tripod collar??

I'm trying to understand everything before I make the purchase, so please bare with me.

Thanking you in advance for your patience.

Bunny

  Same way you'd attach the camera. The lens tripod ring has a screw thread socket on the bottom into which you screw the quick-release plate. You then mount the QR plate/tripod ring/lens to the head.
