Can this tripod get really low to the ground/spread out on the ground without extending the arm out?

The Legs DO fold out further, so that you can get lower to the ground. If you want to get lower, what you can do is slide up the middle piece all the way up, it comes out. Then you can flip it upside down so that the camera is now between the 3 legs. Sure your photo will be upside down, but that's what the rotate function is for in your photo editor.

Yes. While somewhat convoluted, the center column can be removed and the ball head re-attached using the piece that attaches to the bottom of the center column (its the piece that has a weight hook attached). This permits the tripod to be used very close to the ground. It does not show this in the instructions but it certainly can be done.

Not that I can see. It is solely a tripod. I think you will have to either purchase a monopod or find a Tripod with that capability.

It depends on the camera. My Canon is too heavy and the tripod tips over when bent to such a degree.

Hi,You can fold the legs up completely and use as a monopod. However, it does not extend very high.Rick

not if properly extended. However this tripod is meant for small camera's and not heavy video cameras. The size and wt. of the lens will also be a factor.

Sure, using it with the legs retracted will make it more like a normal monopod foot. I'm not sure how low you need to go with it, they get about knee-height with a camera on top.

I don't have it with me, but I know I can stand up and it works great for me and it will lower to sitting level. It is very easy to work with and well built. That is the tripod... The Tabmount is awesome too.

Yes! It absolutely can! I shot a wedding and my back was killing then I looked underneath and saw that I could put a monopod/tripod underneath. Key feature!

The tripod is movement versatil, but vertical it is not! There is one option, try wrapping the legs around a vertical object (ie: fence post, sign post or maybe a mailbox post.) Even a small tree! The object does not need be totally vertical, just enough to get the lens set the way you want it.

Yes, as long as you are using a the tripod, you can tilt it straight down. If you find the tripod too flimsy, the connector/holder will attach to a regular tripod. I have the Samsumg Nexas S with the heavy duty case and found the stand was too flimsy. ( I already have two other tripods)

I don`t know. The tripod had a leg that wouldn`t extend all the way so I sent the piece of crap back to Amazon and got a refund.

It depends upon how much mobility you have. But if you have someone hang the extension rod for you, it can definitely be adjusted so that it is closer to the ground.

Simple way to adjust to uneven ground is to hold the tripod up and depress the trigger while getting it into position, It will level itself' and release the trigger and you're all set.

The short answer is, "No". The bottom of the long arm has a female threaded base, but is a different size than the standard camera tripod mount.

not likely to be at a angle you want, it will be very tippy on the small base. If you got a piece of say 4x4 plywood and drilled a hole in it and put some feet under it you could put a bolt into the base and it would be stable with a normal camera. Not sure you want to do that much work.

Yes only when positioned for landscape portraits. If you turn the camera vertical the tripod does not have a wide enough base to support the camera at a vertical angle
