Does the head come off, so I can use it in a slider?

Yes the head goes off.as long as you can attach it to a rail you should be ok.

The head comes off, but It probably won't be easy to attach to a slider. This particular head has a bottom screw (the red twist thing underneath the head) that screws onto the head. The head actually as a large screw sticking out from the bottom and the twist part is the "nut", if you will. Your slider probably has the screw part already on it so as to attach to a 1/4 or 3/8 ball head, so if you try to move this tripod's head to the slider you'll basically have two screws pointing at each other, versus a screw and a nut. Hope this helps.

The head is removable but you cant use in a slider as it is a "half ball head". The one you need to use with a slider is a "flat ball head" to screw in the slider cradle. A inexpensive and good option is this: AmazonBasics 67-Inch Video Camera Tripod with Bag This is the one I use with my konova slider.

No, unfortunately the ball-head does not detach. The legs are flexible, which makes packing it pretty easy. I usually just straighten all of the legs and it is only about a foot tall. Fits in my back pack or camera bag with ease! I highly recommend this tripod. It's my favorite accessory for my gopro.

No. I have been using it for about 6 months now and haven't had any problems with it. The head will retract completely as long as the notches are aligned

Ok, so I tried today and like Lara D. said, it does come off. You have to pull REALLY hard, but it does come off and you won't break it. It goes back on easier than it comes off. Thanks to Lara D. for your help and giving me confidence to pull at that darn head really hard!

No, the head does not come off but it's diameter is not very large so you might be able to slide the hose over it.

You can take it off. There will just be a gap were the slide was supposed to be tho.

the whole head will come off. Pls check if you own the exact model. If it is not exact model you cannot use this.

Absolutely-I removed mine as soon as I hooked I up. There is on only me using it so I put the tray until it is time to replace the head due to wear

I actually unscrew the head from my manfrotto tripod and screw on the slider to the tripod because the head attaches to the sliding part so you have more control of the camera as your sliding it. Hope this makes sense and hope it helps.

I have never used it with a slider but Manfrotto has an office in Mahway, NJ and I am sure they can answer that question.

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.

The head is permanently affixed, at least on the two that I own. The head appears to have threads and gives the impression that it will screw on and off, which is not the case. Personally, I have no need to interchange the heads. The cans are very nice.

The slider doesn't come with a ball head. It does not flex but if you have it mounted on a tripod in the center, a heavy load can sometimes make it move some. Best solution is to support it on both sides or place on the floor or apple boxes ext.

It really depends on the size of your slider. In most of the cases, should be OK, since the head is standard.

Just a a minor correction to one of the previous answers, the head is removeable. It's a great monopod.

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.

You will need a tripod head, when we got our slider I purchased a 701HDv Manfrotto head. But you can purchase any of the video heads from Amazon and they will work. If you already have a video tripod you can probably pull the head from it and mount it to the slider.
