Hi Brad, (1) It does not have a quick release head- basic 1/4" threaded stud with plastic turn key attached under the mounting plate. (2) I tried to remove the head but it looks like I might damage the plastic ring that goes around the center post. But after removing the threaded bolt and that tightens the pan-lock it looks like the head could be removed byby inserting some kind of chisel/tool between the pan-lock ring and expanding it out of the groove at the top of the center post. I'm just not convinced that the plastic pan-lock ring won't break in the process. So yes you could remove the head and I assume Slik has other heads that would fit this post. Good luck-Michael M.

Yes, even has a snap clip that enables quick removal. Buy it, you'll be surprised how nice it is.

The head is secured with a magnet. I haven't had any problems with it coming loose.

Not a true quick release but it is only attached by the winch and two cotter pins. I haven't taken mine off yet but I think it would only take 30 seconds or so.

there is a fine slotted screw where the neck of the head itself joins the articulated joint. if you remove that screw you can twist and pull the head off.

Yes it has a fastener right on the back that should allow easy removal. Good luck its a good product.

The baseplate is removable. I swapped it out for my manfrotto quick release plate. I did replace the machine screw through the baseplate with a longer one ( and Phillips head as the hex head was not deep and looked like it could strip if tightened down) as the diameter in the grip is smaller than what was on the manfrotto. Feels very solid and I have confidence that it is also secure. Works very well.

It does have a quick release tab so the horn can be taken off easily. Not difficult at all.

Well, LOL, let me break the tie. Until I read the question I didn't notice the quick release lever just below the threaded head piece. Now that I read it, I see it and it's definitely better than unscrewing the camera after each use. Sweet. So Yes, it has a quick release lever.

Head detaches from tripod. It's a ball head. I use this tripod/head for video all the time. It's not incredible heavy, so if there is a lot of ground vibration (people jumping, heavy equipment, etc.) it might not be the best choice, but it's easy to set up/transport, the fluid head is really surprising for the price, and I've definitely got my money's worth out of it --over and over.

No, it needs a quick release plate. But it can't connect to it like normally. You need to buy a bolt to connect it. It's a real hassle to take on and off. You literally have to unscrew the bolt using tools every time you want to put it away. Avoid this jib.

Yes, the cutting head is removable. If I remember correctly, the cutting head has 3/4" female NPT threads. I have extended mine to be able to dig to 23'.

So there's no quick release, but the light does come off separately from it= s mount with a hand tight plastic screw clamp. Very easy to remove just the= light. And it makes a great hand flashlight. A good buy for the amount of = light it offers.

It does have a quick release however the case is quite cumbersome, fine for just hopping off the bike (to pop into a shop) but not ideal for carrying around all day. I believe it also has a screw to lock it in place more securely however I have not needed to use that (even at naughty speeds).

Mark - it does not "quick release" but it does come apart. The part that attaches to the monitor is attached to the part that is connected to the wall by two posts that stick out from the bottom left and right and then the top is held in place by two screws. You use the screws to adjust the angle. Hope this description helps

No the quick release is the only thing more than a simple mount. I still have found no negative issues with mine
