can one of the legs be removed and used as a monopod?

Nope. There is a response that says this is a flimsy tripod and it is not for a travel tripod. I am a pro and use it as a travel tripod. I use a D800 and a Arca tech ball head and will handle everything to a 70-200vr f2.8. I don't extend everything out with that and weight it down. It it not as good as my huge $800 tripod, but that is to be expected.

No the legs cannot be removed, and it is pretty light weight, more suited for a travel tripod.

No. You won't be able to screw the ball head onto the leg. Why would you want to when there are many monopods available some of which the 3 sides of the bottom can be splayed out to stabilize them.Clint

I tried it - didn't work. This is a flimsy tripod. I stopped using it, bought a much better one.

It has it's own plate that allows it to go on and off the monopod, easily and quickly. you won't be able to use it with another plate. Great little unit.

It does not appear so, there is a metal point that can be used in situations where the rubber will not work well. This is a nice monopod, I am buying another for my camera since my girlfriend commandeered it for her camcorder.

Yes, you may remove it from the tripod.-I have it right here with me, and it definitely does-The object is made up of chains of ball-and-socket joints. There is a larger ball-and-socket piece between the three-way hip and the light-module.I've noticed that the leg-pieces fasten less well if they're removed too often, so that presumably applies to the socket for the light-module, too.

The legs don't come off, but I think you could cut them off, I like mine the height it is now.

Yes, the shaft you mount your camera on lifts out and it is the monopod. Very convenient when you have the tripod extended you can lift out the monopod and move to a different location rather than pick the entire tripod up and move with it. So even though you can't see the monopod it is part of the tripod and separates with loosening the hand tightening nut and slide it out of the tripod. Hope this helps.

Yes you can remove the limbs. You can if your very careful.I would always sight it in before a hunt though.

Hi, this item is called a universal leg set... It comes with a spacer if needed with your monopod. I can only speak to my monopod and it fits perfectly w/o the spacer...

You could close the tripod and push the legs together and carry it around like a monopod , but it is not a monopod. If you really want a monopod I would suggest a Dolica WT-1003. Its lightweight, aluminum and very easy to pack or carry around for photo shoots. It has a screw on the base to stablize the monopod to prevent slipping on surfaces and it has worked fine for me. The price was around 20.00 and reasonable. It comes with its own canvas bag and it slips into your luggage very easily. If you use a ipad for pictures, you can also purchase a frame for it that attaches to the top for a few dollars more and it is handy when you don't want to use the camera.

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.

Yes you can take it off. It can stand by itself and even move the legs a little as if it is walking or so. You can also remove the legs, arms and head as well

it is not possible to just remove the head and put it on a tripod because of the way it attaches to the monopod. It's essentially a giant screw on system that is removable and interchangable between manfrotto monopods.

I don't know. The legs are well designed to be shortened or extended. Perhaps you could slide out and remove the adjustable "inside" leg tube.

Yes you can. There is an area under neath the leg part that should just push in & the leg should come out.

yes! it can be. though changing the orientation of the legs regularly would break it for sure i guess. P.S. The joints of the legs are not good, one of them malfunctioned making it useless after a month's use for me

The feet are very stable and yes it can work as a temporary tripod, but be careful if you are using very heavy equipment. I would not leave it free standing at any time. It's not made for that. I actually stand on the feet when I use it. I actually moved my ball head from my manfrotto tripod and put it on this monopod when I use it. It is great and well made. You will love it.

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