I never fold a tripod with a camera mounted on it. Nor have I ever done so. It only takes a second or so to demount a camera with QR. Then I was brought up using large format and heavy tripods.
....You and I are talking about different things. You are saying it only takes seconds to quick release and demount a camera < True, but I am talking about making adjustments to leg lengths while in the field and you aren't going to demount your camera just to do that.... are you? Perhaps if your target subject isn't alive, it won't move and you then have time and hopefully a safe place to put down your camera.
The question, already answered in this thread a number of times, is whether a tripod with lever locks or twist locks is 'better' or preferred.
