that model head is? I can remove the head to put it on a tripod?

it is not possible to just remove the head and put it on a tripod because of the way it attaches to the monopod. It's essentially a giant screw on system that is removable and interchangable between manfrotto monopods.

No reason not to, I don't, but the head is reversible, can hang down, so could get close. My only criticism of the tripod is the head, once released it flops, making panning almost impossible.

Yes, but that's not enough information to provide a recommendation. Most different heads will fit onto most different tripods, but that doesn't mean they're all matched appropriately to the load and to each other.

This is not an item attached to the ballhead or tripod mount. It is attached to the camera body to be inserted in a Swiss Arca-type mount that is attached to the tripod.

Yes. It is as stable as it comes. Match the head to an equally stable tripod and you've got a rock solid system.

Yes you can, it has the screw base mount right under the base so you can place it on any standard tripod.

Yes. I am actually using a Manfrotto 324rc2 pistol grip head on mine. This tripod is light duty though. I might consider the next size up.

Yes, It's a tripod. But dont' use it. Get a stable stand. The tripod is not stable

Unless they have fixed the problem with this tripod - the head is glued on, NOT screwed on, I would stay away from it. I had my camera on it and it almost fell on the floor. The company did, finally, offer to replace it, but I declined the offer and did not get my money back. I would not risk putting an expensive piece of equipment on this tripod. It's possible the company has a better build one which you might look into.

The answer is yes, you can. I replaced the head on mine with a Giottos MH-1002 Ballhead and a quick release plate that allows me to use standard Bogen QR plates on my camera.

Yes, The ball head cann be replaced and the mount screw is 1/4" and 3/8th". I replaced mine to a manfrotto 482 (very small) head to make it even lighter. I have gone back to the original head for more strength. Love this tripod for travel!Herb Booth

I have no tripod head. I am using the lens mainly without tripod, but it is light and it is possible to attach the camera to a tripod if necessary. In this case, the tripod must be very stable or helped by hand.

yes!! you have to..... all tripods come without the head...unless they are advertised as a bundle with the head..

The plates aren't based on the tripod. You have to buy a head separately. That should come with a couple of plates. This tripod isn't intended to be connected to the camera directly. Any Manfrotto ball head would work perfect and they sell these legs with different heads as a combo package.

Hello. Yes, the attached Slik SBH-100 ball head can be removed from the monopod itself, so any head with a 1/4"-20 mount can be substituted. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Have a great day!Deven MorganEvent Cameras

The head unscrews, like other tripod heads. I also have a pistol grip, but enjoy how small but capable this head is.

Hello Harry. It seems the tripod has a standard thread so you can swap it with any head of your choosing. Note though, the screw is not the 1/4 inch-20, but the heavier bolt size. The pistol grip will give you super easy 2-axis movement, but the head that is shipped has an excellent panning feature separate from the ball function and the ball has both a locking knob and a friction knob that lets you have fairly fluid 2-axis movement. I'm actually very impressed with this tri/monopod - they surpased my expectation for a Chinese product and it more closely resembles the popular Italian line.
