Does this also work as a monopod? Parts of the description says that yet I don't see it on other parts. Thank you

Yes, the shaft you mount your camera on lifts out and it is the monopod. Very convenient when you have the tripod extended you can lift out the monopod and move to a different location rather than pick the entire tripod up and move with it. So even though you can't see the monopod it is part of the tripod and separates with loosening the hand tightening nut and slide it out of the tripod. Hope this helps.

It comes out from the clamp that holds it, so yes. If you had a heavy light or modifier on it, I don't know how you would stop it from twisting in your hands. And if you only plan to put a speedlight on it, why not choose a lightweight monopod instead?

Yes, this is a great mount for both a monopod or tripod. I've used it on both and get great results. You can shoot landscape or portrait. The piece that fits on your camera, allows it to release from the mount incredibly quick and easily. I highly recommend this mount. Good luck.

I mounted it on my tripod & it worked out pretty good. I think it will also work with a monopod.

This particular unit would not hold up a monopod due to the fact that it is a smaller type or gorilla pod and it is meant for pocket cameras but works with my heavier dslr as long as it is standing straight up.

This is not an answer, but a question for the person who asked if the bottom is removable. I read that you bought you went ahead and bought the monopod in hopes of modifying the bottom and replacing it with the monopod legs. Were you successful? And if any of you could answer this, how wide is the bottom of the monopod? Thank you very much for your time.

More lilke a monopod! It holds a camera, if you find a way to attach the microphone it will do!

Hello, I am pleased to answer your question. This ball head does work with a monopod. Be careful which Monopod you choose as on a light model there could be some balancing issues because the Arca Swiss head is not light. I use the Arca Swiss you are asking about on a Gitzo Level 3 Tripod but I have tried it on a Manfrotto Monopod and it works just fine. Claude

The mounting screw has 3/8" threads on one side, 1/4" on the other and the base accepts both. Just unscrew, flip and tighten to suit your needs. Mine is married to a head that required the 1/4" thread, but the monopod shipped with 3/8" showing. Easy to loosen, flip and mount...no issues.

The camera screws to the top of the monopod. That means it won' be aimed at you. I have an additional tripod head that I attach to the monopod. That allows me to aim the camera at me.

The sections DO NOT rotate. There is a narrow "track" that runs vertical on each section which keeps it aligned. My old monopod did not have that and it would rotate.

Hi, this item is called a universal leg set... It comes with a spacer if needed with your monopod. I can only speak to my monopod and it fits perfectly w/o the spacer...

You can tighten the screws at the base of the monopod which would effectively make it more difficult to move it around on its feet. It won't be very smooth for movement, however.

I'm not familiar with your tripod, but if it currently holds a fluid head then it may be possible. I think this head is a bit large to use with a monopod but thats just my preference to go as light as possible on monopods. I think for the $, this is a decent head and a good investment. If you get it and realize that it won't work with your legs, I think upgrading to a beefier set of legs is the better alternative to going with a different head. But obviously it depends on what you need it for.If you plan on using it in the monopod configuration then this head may make your setup a bit top heavy.

I don't think it will work. I own a monopod and it doesn't fit in, the tripod head's thread is too big. Monopods usually have a 1/4" screw (that's the size of most cameras at their bottom hole). The product has a 3/8" base, it's larger and won't be good enough to make an extra long selfie stick with your monopod. The tripod head has worked beautifully on other applications though.

The feet do not flop around... Its a monopod not a tripod but will help stabilize your camera to give tripod like results... Though you should never set up monopod with camera and then walk away from it.

The version of the GorillaPod I purchased required the attachment of a separately purchased GoPro mount to the removable clip that attaches to the tripod head. I believe Joby offers a version of their "Action Tripod" that includes a GoPro mount. Great idea but I can only assume it will eventually suffer the same floppy joint fate I experienced with the original GorillaPod. Good luck! I have yet to find a decent alternative and will probably end up reluctantly buying a new GorillaPod.
