from the photos it looks like this replaces the tripod head, is that correct? or does it use the tripod head and mount on top of that? id love a pic

It replaces the tripod head. This head is only good for making panorama's with the camera in the vertical (portrait) position. For that it works very well. But for all other uses you would be better off with a standard head.

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

Mine came with a tripod mount for the GoPro. I can now put my GoPro on a regular tripoid, or I can use the Extension with a regular camera.

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

Yep. I mount it to my camera, then to my tripod. Can also mount it solo to a tripod, if desired.

Dear theresa, Thanks for your contact. Actually, the tripod is just a auxiliary tools and it is not neccessary. And the product doesn't include the tripod. Is that ok for you? If you like it, just place the order, then we will ship it out ASAP. Any questions, please feel free to contact us. Waiting for your good news. Sincerely, Vivian

Hi there.. it does have a mounting hole for tripods.The only trouble is the the mounting hole is not centered on the underside.I found using a very small tripod, for digital cameras, did not support the unbalanced weight and toppled.A more suitable tripod should do fine.

Oh.. you have to buy a head for the tripod..this one does not come with one. The camera then fits onto the head.

Thanks Bob. LogiTech should have thought about the tripod mount. Totally stupid that they did not. Thanks for the feedback. I'll be moving on.

It attaches directly to the tripod mount. No additional item is necessary. It fits on a standard tripod.

Either will work just fine! There is a place to screw in a tripod mount but I tend to place on a flat surface. It has rubber feet to help keep it from moving when on and playing.

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.

Andrew, I went over to Amazon to see what you must have seen on their page, offering both the tripod and this ball-head for $31.71. Am I right? Did you see that. As a heads-up, they wouldn't offer this item in the mix if it didn't fit. So yes, it fits. Whenever you see packages where items associated with what you're purchasing is listed, trust them, they're aware of the limits of what they sell to make sure they're not having to deal with returned packages AND complaints.

I use it with the tripod it came with and 2 other standard tripods.Hope that helps.

It attaches to a tripod just like a camera would. It has one threaded hole and another smooth hole, they are the same placement a camera does. Also use a real beefy tripod the weight shifts alot and can cause the tripod to flex when the camera slides towards the ends of the slider. I imagine no matter what slider you use you will need a solid tripod along with a solid tripod head. I guess if you were a DIY type of person you could unscrew the 2 screws on the underside of the slider and make your own for a more solid mount if one screw point doesn't fit your needs.

I don't know. But I do know that although this is a quite good tripod for the money it will not replace a high quality tripod that a semi pro or pro photographer would use. In my opinion if you want to invest in additional heads you will quickly spend more than you invested in this tripod. You would be better off just buying this tripod again if damaged or you lose the head.
