Does this tripod convert into a monopod? If so, how? I can't seem to find it in either the product description or the instructions for this tripod.

No, it does not. Would be a nice extra feature, but not sure how it could be achieved.

No. The Dolica models that convert to a monopod include (per their website): LX570B502 D/S and the TX570B150DS

Hello Lynn~ First attach the tripod mount to your GoPro with the Screw. Then you can easily tighten screws with the 2.1" Plastic Long Screw Bolt. When steps one and two are done, you can just fix your GoPro to the Handheld Monopod . Please let us know if you need detailed instructions. We also found a video with step by step instructions as well.

Hi, The height of the monopod exceeds the height of the tripod. It allows the camera to be at eye level (or below) and I am 6 feet tall. The best feature is that it has a very sturdy mount and allows a very fast assembly. The pistol grip is kind of lame, but for the price a great value.

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.

You want to fix this steady mount to another tripod of monopod mount, and THEN attach a camera to the steady mount? I'm not sure that's feasible, or necessary, but I could just be misunderstanding your question.

Not sure why you asked the question but you can use any monopod with any camera. A difference will only be quality, price, and height. This is a quality monopod but it is a little heavier than my previous Manfrotto pod, it is also taller. NOTE; You will need to buy a head attachment to mount your camera to this monopod.

Dear alfonsito, thanks for your further concern. Please kindly find the image of "tripod adapter" on http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JOYG1CE (the main image), hope this is helpful to you.

The monopod does have a tripod socket ( just like a camera would) and I've used it attached to a small tabletop tripod.

I do not see that this item has a tripod mount. You may wanrt to check this with the manufacturer.

Dont fit the screw? There are 2 diferent screw sizes maybe you need anadapter like this: http://www.amazon.com/Convert-Adapter-Tripod-Monopod-Ballhead/dp/B00A2LYVT8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1392247790&sr=8-3&keywords=tripod+screw+adapter

I have this tripod and in some cases it takes two hands to adjust it. So for ease of use I don't know if you want this one. It is also heavy and would probably weigh more than the mono pod. I wouldn't recommend it just because of the size and being able to adjust it with only one hand while other holds the pod.

The monopod does not include a head. You can buy all manner of tilting, swiveling, and ball and socket heads separately. (I bought it to manage a spotting scope, and didn't buy a head.)

You can use it with a tripod - I dont see any reason why you could not use it for a monopod as well

The monopod has to different size screws to use with different equipment. One is the size of the mount on the bottom of an SLR and the other is larger. To change them, all you must do is to unscrew the piece on the top, pull the metal screw out and flip it over, then screw the top part back on that holds it in place. I believe that it will work. I use a Kirk ball head on mine and it works fine.

The monopod by itself doesn't but if you have the right attachments - it can. We use it for a go pro - and with the right accessories - it will swivel and tilt - the attachments I bought for $10. On a regular slr - again with the correct attachments it will do it and again , being a monopod - a little manual movement will do the job. I love it for its price - nothing beats it for its price!

Have no idea as I don't have that one, sorry. I do find this monopod quite heavy.

No, you can't. Also, the quality of this product is not so good. One of the legs of my tripod has broken in less than a month of light use.
