Reading the reviews, it seems that this head is for monopods, not so much for tripods. Why? I would like to use it on both.

There is no reason why you can't use it on both. The quick-grip action is great for monopods where you need one-handed adjustment on the fly. For tripods - where you have both hands free - you can get smoother and more precise placement with a larger ball head. You can also get ball heads with a separate pan mechanism - allowing you to pan while the ball head is locked. You can pan (yaw) with this grip, but you are doing it freestyle and will likely inadvertently pitch and/or roll while doing so.

My 681 Manfrotto / Bogen mono pod has a dual thread mount, so yes it will mount. I also have the extra tri pod type base that allows my mono to have feet. But IMO, and as Jim said heavy, so it kind of defeats the purpose of the mono pod, light, thin, etc. I'd use say a 3020 3D or 3265 head if you need more options but it is not a sturdy platform for shake free video which I assume you will be using it for.

Yes I do recommend a head for this tripod. I researched the heads at the Manfrotto website and was a big help in me deciding what head to purchase.

Yes, this is a great mount for both a monopod or tripod. I've used it on both and get great results. You can shoot landscape or portrait. The piece that fits on your camera, allows it to release from the mount incredibly quick and easily. I highly recommend this mount. Good luck.

I can't answer that, but I use mine on a monopod and it's great for that because of it's relatively small size

For video shooting head matters more. I use this tripod with the Manfrotto 701HDV fluid head and it works good.

On second thought, I don't think it is compatible with your tripod, because it won't extend far enough for you to use it. Also I think the feet on your tripod are too big for it.

you see what you get . no .you would have to modify to get it to work on a tripod . not wroth the time keep looking and find something better evenif you have to pay a little bit more.

Possible yes. Would I recommend it, not a chance. If you want interchangeable heads then get a set of legs designed for them. This tripod works reasonably well as is, but it's not really designed to have interchangeable heads. Once you start messing with it to change the head, I'm pretty sure you'll find that what you end up with is a lot of slop/wobble/play regardless of what head you have on it.

I have used this ball head on a monopod for wildlife photography shooting a Canon 50D and Sigma 120-400mm zoom. I have also used it on a tripod for landscape photography including panoramas. It works great.

That I am not sure.. but a good test would be to buy a cheap mic clip holder and see if that fits your tripod. without the head.

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

The tripod is a standard camera mount. I would think that you could consider it a universal mount. If you are unsure take your equipment to a camera store and try it on a camera tripod.

I don't think it will work. I own a monopod and it doesn't fit in, the tripod head's thread is too big. Monopods usually have a 1/4" screw (that's the size of most cameras at their bottom hole). The product has a 3/8" base, it's larger and won't be good enough to make an extra long selfie stick with your monopod. The tripod head has worked beautifully on other applications though.

I put the Manfrotto quick connect-disconnect on this monopod and it works great. I don't think the ball head will work.

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.

Hi. The amount of weight the tripod can hold May be due also to the head chosen. I suggest going to the tripod manufacturer website and look at theMax weight per head and the fully extended leg height Best place for your specific questins
