Yes the adapters are attached via the 4 screws underneath. A lot of times when the screws are removed you still have to use a rail to get it to pop out of the taper, I just use my rifle. Unscrew all four, reattach it to my tripod, make sure the ballhead is locked and pan left or right like your transitioning and the ballhead will come off.
FYI we have started shipping out all backorders. Should be complete in the next few weeks or so for the older orders.
