D'oh. The Manfrotto legs were an easy fix. I'd originally only tightened
the exposed bolts (with needlenose pliers :( ). Underneath a little
plastic cap on each clamp is another hex bolt that can be easily
tightened with the plastic hex "spanner" that clips onto the tripod leg
- "oh, so that's what that white thing is for", I said to myself. Had to
make sure the lever locks are on the open position before tightening.
Now I can put my full weight on it and it won't slip. Hooray.

I have a Manfrotto #055 tripod, with the old style lever locks (instead
of the wing-type). Recently, the three locks on the lower section have
started to lose their grip, so it it slips with the slightest weight on
it. The upper locks are fine. Very annoying as I can only use the tripod
at groin height (ahem).
I tried tigtening the hex bolts, but they are already pretty tight. Does
anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
