Hello... did you buy any chance find out what kind of quick release works with the Canon 100 monopod? I noticed on the pictures posted on Amazon have a quick release after market piece but no information. I'm hoping you might have found one that works you can recommend?

Sima quick release, about $14 bucks. Works great.Copy and paste the link below:Sima SVR Quick Connect for Tripod

The tripod has a fairlly standard "quick disconnect" shoe that fits in the quick disconnect head on the tripod. The shoe has a 1/4-20 standard camera screw. So connect the shoe to the device you want to mount then just snap it into the tripod head....fast and easy. If you have multiple devices you can get multiple shoe (my discription/term) for not much and just flip one lever on the tripod and they change out very fast.

The plate is longer than most "consumer" tripod quick re;ease plates, however, I use this quick release plate on all of my camera attachment, jib, dolly, tripod, etc., with my 7D and 5D3. Works great. Keep in mind that there is a newer version of this but plates are interchangeable so the new and old work together.

The base of the quick release has both a 3/8 and 1/4 hole to thread your equipment. I have this on a monopod that has a 3/8 screw. The quick release plate also has 1/4 and 3/8 screws to attach your camera.

This pistol grip comes with the QS-60 quick release plate. As far as we can tell, that's the only plate currently compatible with this tripod attachment. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our sales department at 800-991-3350 EST. We thank you for your time and consideration!

Hey, JR. It's a Arca-Swiss dovetail design, so, yes, your mono/tripod head needs a compatible clamp to receive it. Some heads have this type of clamp built it, though they tend to be expensive. You can add a clamp plate to your head's existing quick-release plate very easily. Amazon stocks some, or you can check out Kirk Industries or Really Right Stuff plates, either of which will work well.

Not necessarily but if you want the ability to quickly remove the monopod then you will need a ball head with a quick release feature!

Not sure i follow your question. But it does have a quick release for the plate mounted to a camera

You don't NEED to have a quick release... however, if you have to take the camera off the tripod quickly, the release is nice rather than having to unscrew it from the monopod.

I just use a regular tripod, but my slider isn't completely rock solid either; it is, however, stable enough to use. If you have another tripod, you could attach one on either side of the slider, which would keep it really steady. I also take my pan head off of the tripod, so there's no wiggle room coming from the quick release plate - i just attach it directly to the screw coming out of the tripod.

No, if you want a quick release you'll have to get one. Be advised that a quick release will raise the height of the mounted camera. What I do is put the spare plate from my tripod on the bottom of the rig and attach the rig when I need to use sticks. It make more sense if your rig is loaded up with doo-dads.

It has it's own qrp system that doesn't match any others that I know of. Even different models of tripod head within this brand seem to have different sized QRPs .The plate attaches directly to the camera and come with the tripod so you could attach your own to that if you really wanted...

I attach it to my tripod face plate when I need it. With the loop on the strap, it's an easy release. If you use the screw that comes with the strap, that takes more time.

You can use it with any tripod, has a hole for the screw on the bottom, you can use any type of quick release system plate

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 have the "Fancierstudio Tripod Monopod Metal BALL HEAD Quick Release Plate By Fancierstudio" and it has functioned flawlessly with my admittedly very small point and shoot cameras (Lumix LX7, LX5). I don't have any experience with the other ball head, but looking at the amazon offering, it seems to cost about ten dollars more with the inclusion of a pistol grip release. IMHO, the extra pistol grip may offer quicker repositioning for fine tuning while the Fancierstudio needs to twist open and re-tighten with a thumb lever, which can be a pain on the fingers after repeated adjustment actions. HOWEVER, with a monopod, which is what this question related to, it may even not matter as much since the monopod tilts easily and I often just lean the camera one way or another rather than release the ball head. Of course, this obviously cannot be done with a tripod so if you're planning to use this head on a variety of platforms it may be better to get the Opteka instead if the extra cost isn't any issue. On the other hand, I'm perfectly happy with the Fancierstudio model as it functions exceptionally well and is a solid piece of engineering.
