how to switch the tripod head with other tripod heads

Yes it can. Many have bought the tripod just for the legs with the intention of changing the head to a better one.

I replaced the head that came with the tripod with a Manfrotto head. You will have to order a 75mm ball mount for it. I ordered a Manfrotto 520BALL Half Ball Leveler with 3/8-Inch Screw for 75mm Bowl Tripods. I assume any 75mm bowl will work. Just unscrew the bottom (between the legs) of the head that came with it and it should pop right off.

You could unscrew the ball head and replace it with a pan head, but I doubt that you will be able to fully close the assembly to the same compact form that you get with the ball head.The portability of this tripod/head is usually one of the main reasons people buy it. You could always mount and unmounts the head for transport.

I actually unscrew the head from my manfrotto tripod and screw on the slider to the tripod because the head attaches to the sliding part so you have more control of the camera as your sliding it. Hope this makes sense and hope it helps.

There are three different settings allowing you to use each head independently or both of them together

... Sorry, you tighten THE panning bolt in THE Old head, then hold THE tripod to unscrew THE head, and finally screw THE NEW one.

Hello Max, I have the same tripod but have a ball head (previously purchased). Depending on the type of shooting you do I have suggested two heads for you and it all depends on your pocket book. Please let me know if this was helpful. Manfrotto MHXPRO-3W X-PRO 3-Way Head with Retractable Levers and Friction Controls (Black) or Manfrotto MH293D3-Q2 290 Series 3-Way Photo Head with Compact Foldable Handles (Black)

I use a Manfroto tripod. Make sure that you're using two screw points to eliminate rotation. In a best case scenario you would use a tripod on each side of the slider so it is being held up at the ends rather than the center.

Marv, one more thing, to point the camera up and down adjust the two large knobs on both sides of the camera head. One knob has the word 'lock' on it. Unlock the head so it will move up and down. It moves better when you attach the handle that comes with the tripod.

It can only b used with this one. U could put a camcorder or camera on it. But it can not b taken off to put on another tripod.

I had to think about for awhile and tried a few different positions. It's really quite simple. Just set the part that connects to your camera into the front of the lower section that is connected to your tripod. then simply push down on the back side which will depress the spring and small silver button. This will throw the release arm into place.

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.

None I can think of aside from making sure the tripod screw is near center. There is some room for lateral adjustment but if it were too far to one edge, it may not work.

The support staff at Tiffen (who are the parent company of Davis & Sanford) can answer your question. My tripod came assembled and I have not needed to remove the head. Write techsupport@tiffen.com or call 800-645-2522.

No. The switch only allows 3 options: head 1 only, both head 1 and head 2, head 2 only

Yes you can interchange plates. You can use a manfrotto plate on this monopod as well benros plate on other manfrotto products. Keep in mind its Manfrotto's 501PL plates that are being used.

Yes - the QR plates are the same, so you can swap your cam between your tripod and your jib.

You can't remove just the ball head but you can remove whole head. I don't know if you can switch the head with others or not.
