Is it possible to push the "turn-protection pin" in the monopod or is it fixed?

Can you please clarify , as to which pin you are referring to , However, I used it extensively in Kenya and Tanzania, Monopods are very useful and very helpful. Rokinon M71 is apecent Monopod, It is sturdy, could hold my Canon 6D along with a Sigma 150 - 500 Zoom. It is very helpful for Panning especially when as in my case a cheetah was running at a distance, the safari Van was vibrating and it was had to stabilize the heavy equipment. However the foot pad was loose and it would not lock back in place, I found it helpful to stabilize the Monopod, One needs to take caution because the lever used to rotate the camera vertically will fall and will lose the chrome washer, The screw that is use to rotate the camera horizontally had accidentally fallen off during transportation , The mount does not appear to be balanced and the camera tilts to the left downwards off center. Hope you find this helpful

Yes, I did and it's easily fixed. Use a appropriate size wrench to simply tighten the nuts on the screws until the camera isn't too hard to rotate, but the frame supports the weight of the flash. I'd tighten the screws about 1/4 turn each until this result is achieved.

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.

Mine fell off without me knowing about it which was a surprise. I contacted Gitzo but never heard back but I know you can purchase replacement parts directly from them. I ended up purchasing on Amazon the Gitzo G1220.129B Stainless Steel Spike For Monopod

I do not know, have you looked at the Manfrotto web sute from memory ittells you which models are compatible if not look at the dimensions of the foot and dimension of the monopod. send Manfrotto an email asking the question

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.

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?

Sorry - I don't know how to fix this. Mine is not bent but rarely will flip up and lock the slide back - are you sure it's not just flipped up? It's easy to do when you are pulling the slide back because it takes so much force to pull it back. Sorry I can't be more help!

I have no problem with mine. How old is yours? Did you make sure you didn't break the pin ?

No it doesn't rotate. But you just rotate the whole monopod as one piece. The individual sections do not rotate individuallly. Good monopod though.

Hello... did you buy any chance find out what kind of quick release works with the Canon 100 monopod? I noticed on the pictures posted on Amazon have a quick release after market piece but no information. I'm hoping you might have found one that works you can recommend?

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 Morgan Event Cameras

The foot is pinned on the bottom of the monopod and is not designed to be removed. I would guess that if you have a well equipped shop, you could remove the rubber foot and spike and replace it with a stud or bolt to accept an additional camera. It would probably ruin the monopod though.

Perhaps with some adapter screws, but it would not be a good choice for a monopod. Taking advantage of the smooth panning abilities of this head require a resistance to turning that a monopod does not offer, and it is rather heavy.

You need to turn the small black ring upwards or anti-clockwise at the bottom of the adapter where u fix it to your camera to release the pin which gets attached to the flash. Don't try to take out by force . You can damage the adapter

Not without modification. The spike is permanently attached to the monopod and the rubber foot does not come off. If you don't mind modifying you may be able to do what you want.

I elected to put an Arca-Swiss compatible clamp atop the mono-pod to make it easier to quickly change camera bodies and lenses. You might want to put a ballhead or other device, but it will work directly with the tripod mount on the bottom of your camera
