Is the head on this tripod all metal construction?

Yes, all metal construction on the head of the tripod. Only rubber is on bottom of feet and grips for metal handles that attach to the head.

Its a good tripod but I'm not pleased with the head. I switched to an Arca type and its a perfect combination.

Just a a minor correction to one of the previous answers, the head is removeable. It's a great monopod.

The fan head and the base is plastic, the only part I can see that is metal is the pole.

I ordered and returned this item a while ago. It didn't work at all, so I sent it back. I don't remember what material the head was. Sorry!

I believe it's all one solid construction of steel, if the head broke it had to be from miss use. This is one tough tool that's incredibly strong and sharp, it's not a toy for boys!

Yes, it is all metal. Pretty much the same weight as a real one (have a .380 PPK). Breaks down the same way also. Seems well made.

It is metal. The whole thing is solid design with smooth bearing motion. I have used it with three different size cameras and it is easy to adjust for each.

Hi Mark. The release lever and the wing nut to adjust tilt is plastic. Everything else is metal. I must say, I am very much satisfied with my oben tripod monopod and heads.

No, this purely a tripod head, it would be very difficult to use without it being mounted on a tripod

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

Yes, it is. I love this tripod. It is lightweight, is tall enough for me and even my hubby who is 6'2" could use it easily enough.

I'm fairly sure it can handle the load...it's a fairly decent tripod for the money...however the pan head is not very smooth at all. That's my chief complaint.

This is an aluminum tripod. It performs very well. Great tripod for the price.

The short answer, yes. The head is extremely strong and stable. The screw down knob allows for pretty heavy weight. I use it for my Canon 7D with multiple lens' and weights.

No. And even if it did, this tripod is utter garbage. It broke on me in less than a month with light to minimum use. Don't buy it!
