do I need to buy a ball head extra when using my rebel T2i?

Hi Barbara, yes you need a ball head for mount your camera, maybe you can use without the ball head but is more unconfortable

I agree. You do not have to by a ball hear but you will be limited to horizontal format.

The Ball Head can be replaced with any 1/4X20 threaded product however, you will lose the compact size if you replace it with one of the larger units. I shoot a D3S with mostly prime lenses and it works OK. If the ground conditions or wind is blowing, I use my larger Manfrotto Tripod with the professional head.

I just bought one for my Rebel T1i and there is no way to mount it on the camera. It does not have the right connecter!!!

No, you don't necessarily need anything further, but I bought the "DMKFoto Heavy Duty Ball Head with Quick Release Plate" with it, and it gives more versatility in my shots. It also works better when you use two tripods, one on each end to support the weight of the camera as it slides.

No you should have the one that came with your camera when you bought your camera

yes you need it. the end that plugs into the camera is slightly larger than the generic one. the generic one is too small, stinks huh.

Not a necessity, but a good quality ball head would provide more functionality both for the tripod and whatever camera/lens you use. This is a lightweight tripod so the large camera with large lens will be a challenge.

it's great w/ the rebel T1i. might contact canon to see if both models are the same.

Yes, Ball head is included. I use with Nikon D7100. You might want to consider a bag to carry it in.

That ball head will definitely work with this tripod. As long as the head has threads on the bottom (they all do) and a mounting plate to screw to the bottom of the camera you're all set.

You need something to elevate the camera such as a ballhead. Search for "ballheads" in Amazon.

I was unhappy that there is not a ball head to allow for much more adjusting of my Nikon D5100. It is fairly stable, although do not stand in front of it with your back turned....walked into mine. It feel over with my camera. Yikes. My big 105mm lens and camera do not seem too heavy so the Handycam will hold the weight. Panning the camera could be a problem. No Instructions available from Polaroid either...grrrr. Ask on Flickr about using this tripod.

I looked at my Rokinon monopod. Like my tripods, it has a shoe with a camera screw that detaches from the unit. I haven't ever given much thought to using a 'ball head' on a monopod.

I really don't see the need for the ball head on a P&S; camera. You pretty much have full movement for positioning the camera when mounted to the magnetic version. I have no regrets with the purchase of this item.

Yeah, it comes with an adapter screw thread that makes it work without a tripod head. But i would strongly suggest using it with a tripod head. Otherwise the camera is only stuck in one position on the slider and it's direction is determined by where the thread of the screw stops. So this can make it very hard to set up your shot.

I've looked over the offerings found in a number of package deals and found the vast majority of them included lots of no-name accessories of dubious quality for premium prices. I'd highly recommend avoiding packages deals unless they contain brand name accessories that DON'T include a 75-300mm or 28-90mm Canon lens.Just get the camera with the included lens. Its a good deal.

Your Canon 2ti is equipped with an EF lens mount. So, yes... attach it to your camera and have a ball.
