I have a Giotto MH-1001 Ballhead. Will this plate sit on top of the ball platform? Thanks, Larry

As long as the ball head uses a standard 3/8 or 1/4 stud this clamp will screw on and work fine.

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.

Hey there.First you should know I wound up returning my Jib. The head locked and I wasn't able to use it anymore. How long have you been using it? Have you had any issues with it being hard to pan or tilt? To answer your question.The release plate for the Manfrotto 501 is DIFFERENT from the one on the jib arm.

Yes, just put the mounting plate on top of the tripod and then put this on top....that's how i set it up on my slider cam, love this product...

I have a manfrotto (501) quick release on mine. It's screwed onto the 1/4-20 but then I have a QR plate onto my ball head. So I can pop it on and off when necessary. But if ur ball head has a 1/4-20 on it you can go directly to the slider carriage on the slider if you wanted. So, yes you can.....

As far as I can tell, ther should be no issues with attaching another brand of BallHead or other tripod head, as there are the typical 1/4-20 threads on top, which is standard for any tripod I've worked with. Hope this helps, good shooting!

To be totally honest I bought this Giottos for the purpose of using it on my glidecam HD4000 and it was not ideal. It didn't fit my other manfrotto plates like I was hoping and it was kind of stiff to slide in and out. I ended up returning the product and got the manfrotto version. Hope this helps!

The plates aren't based on the tripod. You have to buy a head separately. That should come with a couple of plates. This tripod isn't intended to be connected to the camera directly. Any Manfrotto ball head would work perfect and they sell these legs with different heads as a combo package.

One the two I have, you can fit a Manfrotto plate on it, but you can't fit its plate into a Manfrotto head. There are some cutouts on the Manfrotto plate that are missing on these plates. It looks like some careful work with a file might fix this. But, I would not plan on them being interchangeable.

I purchased this mounting plate for the MX1000 tripod. I suggest you contact the vendor for further clarification.

I don't believe it will. The release lever on this piece relies on the bottom area being open. You would be mounting this on what looks to be a larger plate, so you would have no area below the adapter to swing the release because of the plate, and you'd have no area above it because of the camera body. If, by some miracle, the Manfrotto plat is larger than the Cowboy platform you'd be okay. Just understand you add another level of complexity when trying to balance your setup. Once it IS set, it should afford you the ability to mount and dismount the camera quickly and return to the same balance point.

Dear customer, Thank you for your email. The QV-1 baseplate shares a similar shape to the Manfrotto 501PL quick release plate. Once the QV-1 baseplate is attached to your camera, you can mount directly to supported Manfrotto video fluid heads. If you are using a different system, you can still attach your proprietary tripod plate under the QV-1 baseplate by accessing the available 1/4" threads. Thank You

I received the tripod this week with the expectation I could mount a different (flat bottom) head; however, the 'adjusting ball' that is part of the head cannot be separated. Therefore without the head and ball, you are left with a concave shape opening on the top of the tripod which will NOT work with a flat head. I unfortunately will need to send this back to Amazon.

There is a place at the bottom to mount a tripod plate to. I mounted it to my manfrotto 501head. It doesn't come with one. You will need the plate from your tripod. Hopefully that helps.

I tried to buy an extra plate several months ago and the company said they had none at the time. All rhis company's products are imported, and the importer didn't seem very concerned about my request. The design is a take-off on the arca swiss products, and most other manufacturers are compliant with that ddesign. Unfortunately, the Lancier O bought does not fit arca swiss plates. I make ot a practice to leave the plate attached to the ballhead for safety sake. I would love to be able to use my head with an "L" bracket, but it doesn't fit. Sorry to hear of your loss.

It can be mounted, it may require the basic 3/8 to 1/4 adapter. However, it is heavy and as one who has done so, it dawned on me, "Why would you WANT to put a heavy ball head on a monopod??" Unless you are planning to use the mono as a "pole" to get your camera above crowds or such and the there are better tools for that. A ball adaptor on a tripod is silly. Just mount the PLATE connector from Manfrotto for the quick disconnect feature and save 80% of the weight.
