Will a gimbal head fit on this tripod?

Yes, but that's not enough information to provide a recommendation. Most different heads will fit onto most different tripods, but that doesn't mean they're all matched appropriately to the load and to each other.

My guess would be 'yes' as this tripod has a standard size 35mm camera mounting screw (¼"?).

im not sure. there arent many sizes so it may, but your best bet is to take your equipment to a camera shop so you will know for sure. trust me. the one i bought doesnt fit tightly in any of my 6 tripods

Not sure. I have it mounted on a Manfrotto 190MF4. If you've never purchased a tripod head, I would suggest paying a little extra for a ball head. Much easier/faster to operate.

Yes, you will need some form of head. I believe the tripod has a 3/8" thread for a head mount, the head will have a 1/4" thread for the camera mount.

It should as long as the threads match. The female threads on the pan head is 1/4-20 and I had to make a full mount adapter since I had an old non-standard tripod, I just used a 1/4-20 bolt on my adapter to mate with the pan head.

We have a Manfrotto and it worked fine. It fits by adjusting the angle and length of the tripod legs. The "feet" clamp into adjustable holders on the Glide Gear base. The short answer is "no." :)

It fit tripods and monopods with a 3/8" attachment screw, like the 190 series or 055 series tripods. Manfrotto's website has all of the specs listed for this head: http://www.manfrotto.com/mini-ball-head-with-rc2-rapid-connect-system

You just bought the tripod, so this will never fit any camera. You must buy a head for the tripod, that comes with the mount for the camera.

It should fit onto the tripod stud- an adapter is included. The diameter of the base of the ballhead and the diameter of the tripod mounting area may not be a match, but that usually does not affect the use of either.

This should work on most standard Manfrotto heads. I have two heads and it works great. It is very sturdy.

Yes, I think so, your tripod is a standard 75mm ball head therefore you can use the Manfrotto 520 Ball half leveler so you can install a ball head mount.

I wanted the gimbal head because it was strong enough to hold my 15 lb Canon 500 securely on the tripod. I don't know how much weight your ball head supports, but I doubt it will support the weight of the gimball. The Opteka seems to perform well, allowing easy vertical and horizontal movements, and with a longer slide piece, balances the lense well. JonK.

I'm not familiar with that model tripod, but if your tripod is a conventional tripod this head will fit. Just as it would fit any other "normal" tripod.

Not 100% sure, but it should.Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an exact standard for the base sizes, but in this case the platform here is exactly what you'd expect it to be.We have two different tripods, for which we ordered two of these; it fit both perfectly.So I can't say for sure, but as long as your tripod isn't terribly different from most other popular tripods, you'll be fine with this platform.Good luck!

Yes, virtually any tripod would fit on the dolly... The receivers for the tripod's feet are able to slide along the length of the dolly and lock in place to hold any tripod (except for those tiny little "desktop" models that stand about 6" off a table surface). Hope that helps...

I am not sure but I would not recommend this gimbal head. I would and did get a Promaster Gimal Head and love it. I think it would work with that zoom. Same cost for the Promaster.
