When you got this tripod did you have to bolt in one of the legs (assemble the leg at the joint)? If so did your screw keep falling out?

yes I did have to assemble one of the legs, you have to take the middle chrome looking piece and place it in the middle of the wholes that line up with the bolts that has the threads so that the screws actually screw in. if you already knew that then you may need another Allen wrench key to tighten the other side at the same time

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.

I received this today, and the head came off the tripod. I did not see any screws but it seemed that the head was superglued to the tripod. Is this how it should be?

I'm not sure the exact size of the screw but there's a thread at the base of the tripod. You secure it using a bow screw.

No I had to build a system to attach it to my tripod. Not to difficult, there is a half inch hole in the bottom of the handle that will let you build one.

To SPECIFICALLY answer your question, yes, the legs will support the weight just fine. With all that weight, be sure to have the camera tightened securely onto the tripod, and when it's where you want it, really tighten everything down so you don't get drift with the camera.

mine was as stiff as a rock and I still haven't been able to loosen it up. You can replace the handle/base/knobs as I used parts from another tripod for preference, but idk if the manufac. offers them.

It will support? YES It will wobble? probably I think it is to much weight for this tripod. better look for another (more sturdy) tripod.

When I bought Dolcia Monopod, I had the same problem while trying to attach it to a table top dolly. I purchased a set of screw adapters from Amazon - problem fixed!http://www.amazon.com/SMALLRIG-Convert-10-pack-Adapter-Tripod/dp/B006R38IJY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1403208472&sr;=1-1&keywords;=screw+adapter

I don't recommend this tripod. It is very flimsy. One of the legs bent after about 2 uses. I set it up, took a picture on time delay, and when I returned to the tripod the leg was bent.I replaced it with a similar Vivitar tripod and have had no problems with it.

The unit does NOT have a built-in tripod mount, which I agree is a design flaw. I would NOT drill and tap a hole into the base since the base has metallic parts in it that may serve as a counterweight for the stand. There are two other options. (a) Purchase a standalone tripod mount (e.g. Promaster or equivalent - visit your local photography shop) and fasten it either with epoxy glue or heavy-duty velcro. (b) use a heavy-duty rubber band to hold it in place on the mounting plate of a ball-head tripod head.

Yes, it's your typical tripod screw, just the same as the one on the bottom of my Canon t2i. Very stable as well.

Yes. I liked the weight and size and really wanted the tripod to work but I returned the tripod after playing with it for 10 minutes. One of the smaller leg sections would not tighten and the Arca-Swiss plate would not firmly tighten to the ball. Even after I tightened the Hex Screw there was still movement.

Yes, but it's only one screw, you can remove with our hand... It's a big one, place where tripod fixing and still allowed you attach the tripod...

Unless they have fixed the problem with this tripod - the head is glued on, NOT screwed on, I would stay away from it. I had my camera on it and it almost fell on the floor. The company did, finally, offer to replace it, but I declined the offer and did not get my money back. I would not risk putting an expensive piece of equipment on this tripod. It's possible the company has a better build one which you might look into.

Yes, I have no problem mounting the rig on my tripod. I don't do it often, but I've had no problem when I did.
