No, it does not. The head I paired it with is: Vanguard SBH-250 Magnesium Ballhead with Sliding Quick Shoe. It's a perfect combination.

No... I ordered this one with the tripod Vanguard SBH-250 Magnesium Ball Head with Sliding Quick Shoe

Unless they have changed the way this tripod is assembled, I would be careful buying it. The head, on the one I had, was GLUED on and not screwed on. After some time, it came loose and put my camera at risk of falling. I contacted the manufacturer and expressed my concern. I would check with the manufacturer to see whether they have corrected this problem.

It comes with. It has a counter weight attached so it makes the tripod a touch heavy, but overall it's not bad.

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.

It attaches to the base by two round discs that set into grooves on each side of the base.I don't know of a tripod that is made for it but with a little work I'd say it's light enough one could be built for it if you cared to do such a thing..... Honestly I'd just put it on a short table or something if you wanted it higher.

that's not the model (the one with the blue accents) that shipped to me. as a matter of fact the picture looks completely different from the one that I bought. you might want to check with the seller to make sure what you would receive. the one that I bought back in May was for cameras, it has a ball head but without the pan handle. it looks more like the carbon fiber version of this that they sell. this tripod that's pictured is either a new product or a updated version of mine. hope this helps.

yes it does come with a tripod. for astrophotography, you will need some other accessories like t rings and adapters.

No. It doesn't come with the tripod. You'll have to get 2 solid tripods to make it work smoothly and with stability. I'm getting great results with this slider.

mine came with two heads, I'm using mine with a JVC MG630, the receiving part of the camera should be 1/4 inch standard thread pitch. The screw that holds my camcorder only turns in about 1 and 1/4 turns and holds fairly well.

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.

Hi Adrian, the tripods are sold separately. I do not recommend this product if you're using anything larger than a dslr and small lightweight lens. It gets too flimsy and unstable.

It appears that the Sunpak6000pg tripod already comes with the pistol grip head. If you're purchasing a sunpak tripod without the head this should be a universal replacement.

No, the unit comes with a base as you can see, but the unit, although not all that heavy, is too heavy for a tripod mount, especially with the necessary weights attached. I use a gallon water bottle about 3/4 full to balance the unit. I am pleased with my unit.

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

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.;

Sir. I have no idea about various heads that you can use with this tripod. It depends on what you are going to put on the head. Is it a camera lens? spotting scope? I use a very old Swiss-Arca Mono-Ball. I put a 300mm f/2.8 lens and camera on it as well as various other camera/lens combinations.

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.
