So the quick release clip on my Manfrotto ball head stop springing, and then eventually stopped working all together.

This is a professional model about $200, and i haven't ever misused or dropped the head.

I purchased 1.28.14, so its' been more than a year since purchase.

Any idea if this is covered by their warranty, or how much their repairs are?

What does the warranty card say?

As far as I know, all Manfrotto products are warrantied for one year, at least my tripod, ball head and monopod are. You may want to give them a call or an email. I emailed them with a question about one or their products and received a quick, courteous response.

I had a problem with my ballhead "floating" after just a year and they replaced it at no charge. Contact them.

That's great news! And thank you for the update, too many posts are made by people with a problem or seeking advice wind up dying with the OP never telling us whether or not the issue was ever resolved.
