does this tripod convert to a monopod?

Not exactly, though you could use it as a monopod by only extending one leg, or extending the three legs and keeping them together. It is a maximum of about 56.5" high in this configuration.

no but as with any tripod it is easy to hold the three legs with one hand and operate the camera with the other hand. A very sturdy well built tripod that is light enough to always take with you. Jon

Technically no, but you can squeeze the legs together to achieve a similar result. With legs fully extended and squeezed together, the feet form an equilateral triangle about 1 and 1/2 niches on each side.

No. Did not see any reference to a conversion in the instruction sheet. I have suiri's monopod - - nice.

I don't know. I purchased it as a gift for a friend who is starting to get more serious about photography, but hikes a lot. She wanted a fairly lightweight tripod. I will be checking up on how she likes it, and reporting back. I thought of it as a "first" tripod.

Perhaps with some adapter screws, but it would not be a good choice for a monopod. Taking advantage of the smooth panning abilities of this head require a resistance to turning that a monopod does not offer, and it is rather heavy.

Yes it will work fine, although it was really designed for a monopod. This only tilts on a single axis and won't rotate, but if that is what you want to put onto your tripod it will work.

No. You can attach the camera directly to the monopod. Manfrotto has this monopod set up to accommodate both sizes of threads, so you can attach the camera, a quick release, or a ball head.

It would probably do so, fits standard threads, I have it on a Vortex tripod. HOWEVER, it's pretty stout...so it would probably be pretty heavy for a monopod.

I elected to put an Arca-Swiss compatible clamp atop the mono-pod to make it easier to quickly change camera bodies and lenses. You might want to put a ballhead or other device, but it will work directly with the tripod mount on the bottom of your camera

the description states that it supports up to 9.9 lbs. it may work but you're risking breaking the monopod. there is a more expensive option if you're willing to pay for it. try the Manfrotto 562B-1 Fluid Video Aluminum Monopod with Plate.

It should. I have the Manfrotto 685B and it works fine with that. According to Manfrotto's website, both monopods use the same screw attachment: "1/4" and retractable 3/8" screw attachment type". I also use it with the Manfrotto Super Clamp, it works great for clamping a camera to a railing or attaching a second camera to a tripod leg.

You want to fix this steady mount to another tripod of monopod mount, and THEN attach a camera to the steady mount? I'm not sure that's feasible, or necessary, but I could just be misunderstanding your question.

You will need to have the GoPro tripod mount adapter to fasten the GoPro camera to the monopod.

It will fit on a Manfrotto tripod/monopod of course, but the base plate is ARCA and therefore Manfrotto plates will not fit in this unit. The jaws screw clamp onto the plate, unlike the Manfrotto which snaps into position.

Yes, you can leave the strap on the camera and use a tripod or monopod. The strap connector wheel is double threaded. The wheel has a male thread for the camera connection and on the bottom of the thread for the camera is a female thread for your monopod or tripod. Very easily accomplished.

Yes ;) but you have to buy another Gopro accessorie to attach the monopod to the camera...

No...the adapter is separate. It mounts to any standard tripod, which are very reasonably priced.

Yes. It has a place to screw on a standard tripod. We have also mounted it in a lightstand.

Have no idea as I don't have that one, sorry. I do find this monopod quite heavy.
