Can the ball head detach from the tripod to reduce it's size for packing?

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.

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!

no. unfortunately, you'd have to take the strap off in order to use it with a tripod.

Yes, The camera can be removed from the tripod with the flip of a lever. Flip the lever the opposite direction to lock the camera down to the tripod.

The ball head does unscrew from the tripod leaving a threaded post that would allow the head to be changed provided the post and threads are the same. sorry I don't know the size of the threaded post.

This is my first Tripod ball head purchase. Upon close inspection and trial I found a 3/16" allen screw. I attempted to loosen but it was securly attached and I did not want to attempt using brut force our placing the head in a vice. I have found this ball head to be quite adequate for my purposes. I have mounted a Canon 7D plus a 70-300mm Canon lens with a tripod collar. I hope this is some help for you.

It can't, as far as I know. If you want to switch between the rig and the tripod, you have to unscrew the camera.

James. After examining my tripod I think it might be possible. The center column of the tripod on which the head is mounted is approximately 3/4 of an inch though I suspect it's in millimeters. On the mounting portion of the head itself is a very small Allen screw. I suppose that if one loosened the Allen screw the head would slip off. Of course the replacement head would have to fit the center shaft. I find the head quite good for photography but if you are thinking video then of course a fluid head would almost be a necessity.

No - but it's not necessary as you can pull it out and re-position is at a 90° angle to the surface on which it stands - even better! This is an EXCELLENT tripod.

That's incorrect. While taking it out takes less than a minute, you will definitely have to remove cover to attach to tripod

It requires a ball head, or some sort of screw on tripod head, which is not included with the slider

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.

Unfortunately not. That's one of the things I wish too. It's riveted to the clamp. The top portion of the clamp unscrews out of the ball joint, but the bottom portion, which includes the ball, is permanently attached.

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 unscrew the accessories dish so the tripod folds up.you can then story it in a corner with out taking up a lot of room

No. It is also a female screw which allows you to attach it to a quick release plate for your tripod head.

Sure! Fasten the pan lock screw, then hold either the tilt or pan handle and turn anticlockwisely to remove the head. This is described in the instruction that comes with the tripod, and I have tried that.
