Does this tripod contain head? Do I have to buy a head for this tripod to use ?

yes!! you have to..... all tripods come without the head...unless they are advertised as a bundle with the head..

This tripod doesn't include a head, you'll have to buy the head seperately.

This is a tripod only. You have to buy a head for it. I bought a Manfrotto 322RC2 Joystick Head Shorthead for mine. I like both. I haven't had any problems with either.

It has 3 holes for tripod mounting. One on either end and the middle. You will need to buy a basic swivel head only if you want to do shots on an incline. Other then that its ready to be tripod mounted out of the box.

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

It is a table top one it does come with a tripod not sure if an additional one can be purchased

Yes. The base screws onto the tripod, or in my case mono pod, and then there is a base plate that comes with the head. It gets attached to the camera.

I don't understand the question. I use this tripod with a manfrotto ball head and it works fine

You can always get a tripod head if you don't already have one. Attach the head to the slider then your camera to the release plate of your tripod head. The screw on this slider is standard and should fit into your camera unless your screw may have some manufacturing defects.

Yes. I got it with the case, however it will not be able to fit additional items like a tripod head. Etc.

No. It's one solid piece. Most tripods I've bought in this price range have a head that swivels, and can spin. If you spin it too far, the head comes off, therefore, you have a detachable head. However, those tripods are junk when it comes to using a video camera on them and using them in the horizontal plane, the head tends to wobble and the turning isn't smooth. I've used this tripod for several months and moving the head from side to side is as smooth as it was the first day I got it. This tripod also does NOT have a detachable monopole in the center. BUT, with all this being said, it's the best tripod I own in this price range for videography. I'm gonna buy another one this year.

The monopod does not include a head. You can buy all manner of tilting, swiveling, and ball and socket heads separately. (I bought it to manage a spotting scope, and didn't buy a head.)

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.

Not a necessity, but a good quality ball head would provide more functionality both for the tripod and whatever camera/lens you use. This is a lightweight tripod so the large camera with large lens will be a challenge.

The head should fit all tripods, as the threads are standard. I have this head. It is excellent! The base is a little wider than the base of my Manftoto tripod, but barely noticable.

No, although the tripod is a convenient hand hold. But it works just as well without the tripod.

Hi, I got the Manfrotto 468MG ball head when I got this tripod( had a smaller combination before) and it works great. $214.00 at B&H.;

The head is oriented to shoot with the camera taking a straight horizontal shot. You will have to experiment with camera placement on the head plate and using the tilt / pan adjustment knobs to get the vertical or overhead views you desire. I use this tripod for all my shooting: star shots, multi-shot panoramics, portraits and even as a video mount. Very versatile. Will also allow you to use a Manfrotto ball-head should you choose.

Yes. It did come with the head gear. However , my friend also ordered one but it didn't come with the gear. I paid more
