I have an unusual application. Can the ball be removed from the base housing, and if so, what is the ball diameter?

Well it appears that Slappy has already answered your question. Without a caliper, mine "eyeball measured" against a ruler at about 13/16". So it was good that Slappy had a caliper. Lord knows where mine is. The ball on mine came apart a little easier than his. All I did was take the "camera" base stop off then unscrew the lock down thumb screw until the whole thing fell out of the bottom. The 1/4" stud post appears to also be screwed into the ball. Possibly with loctite.

Yes, the ball can be removed (unscrew the plastic base plate on top, the thumb set screw on side and a hex nut opposite the thumb screw and the ball can be removed from the bottom). My digital calipers measure the diameter at 25/32 of an inch. or 19.79 mm

Not sure, I took off the mounting plate to use one front the system I already had. Ball head is pretty strong.

No. It's 55cm as advertised. If ball is inflated beyond the designed size, it fails to perform as designed, and defeats the purpose you want from it. You can actually feel the differences and loss in effects.

You can use the ball without the base provided. The LED assembly sits *below* the glass globe, and is covered by the base provided, so if you don't use the one provided, you will need to provide another that will work. I didn't care for the concrete look of the provided one, and substituted a 4-inch diameter PVC pipe about 4 inches high. I ran a line of removable silicone caulking around the top, to prevent the intrusion of moisture (removable because at some point the battery will need to be changed). Thus far things are working well. Picture a plain black base instead of the concrete looking one provided. I gave one of these as a present; the giftee likes the provided base, and will keep it. Hope this helps.

What diameter cord is used? What is the diameter of the plastic balls? Would a 1/4" rope fit through the ball if the cord was removed?

The ball is about 2 and 1/4 inches in diameter. It bounces higher than any ball you have seen. As others stated by others, it was used for most all the games we played as a kid.

It isn't a hole that keeps the ball in place, but 2 low pieces of plastic jutting up from the base about 5 inches apart that the ball rests on. I hope this helps.

This ball is 30" in diameter when fully inflated. You may inflate it to any diameter up to that size by simply putting in less air. That way it is adjustable to your liking. Thanks for asking!

I don't know; I use mine for home-made items that spin slowly, sort of like wind catchers but never used it with any ball. Sorry this probably won't help you.

Yes, the ball is nothing but an exercise ball that sits on the base. You can use the ball without the base but it's a smaller ball. I love mine!!

The diameter is only about 4 inches. The ball I received when I ordered this was very soft and flattened easily.

The base diameter is about 24 1/2", but 26 1/4" at the handles. The actual diameter of the ball is about 23".

What we ended up doing is taking a very big flat-bladed screwdriver and wedging it in between one side of the hex bolt and the metal of the bottom bar. We then used a great big wrench to turn the ball to tighten it. (So we turned the ball and held the nut in place as opposed to holding the ball still and turning the nut). Doing it this way did mar the rubbery covering of the unit a little, but it also got the job done.

yes, unlock the plastic disc that holds it in place. The ball comes out and both ball and ball housing are accessible for cleaning

Dean is confused, Levi is correct. If the top of the ball head is threaded with a standard thread 3/8-16 or 1/4-20 then this clamp could be attached. I would probably recommend some loctite on the threads especially if usign the reducer, of course this is only a good idea if you are not wanting to remove it anytime soon.

I just tested mine and the silver ball at the top does unscrew. Might yours be on to tight or maybe a defect?

Can't remove the ball, however you can remove the post at anytime. Works very well I like it
