Does this mount require an additional ball head?

No, this unit is fully equipped for mounting cameras either in landscape or portrait while allowing full pan and tilt.

The simple answer is no. It had the correct attachment for my Canon series cameras. I would imagine for any camera with a standard screw. Now, if you wanted to do anything different, like angling the camera for any reason, then a ball mount could be of use.

Nope. Pretty much ready to go right out of the box, some assembly required but not difficult. As an aside, I haven't used mine all that much but the one pano that I ran with it was a full circle from ground level and then stepping vertically all the way to straight up. Worked like a champ..........I did power it from an external battery as I was a bit nervous about running off AA batteries.

Actually, it can be either. The Barska Ball Head comes with a 1/4" adapter mount insert for the base that can be removed to reveal the 3/8" adapter mount machined into the base. I use it at the 1/4" size as delivered and had to unscrew the mount to discover the dual option. Really quite versatile.

A ball head is not included. I purchased one separately, afraid you will have to do likewise. One will add a lot of flexibility in setting up / aiming your iPad.

Can you tell if the nut insert is moving when you try to install the ball mount? If you were able to removed the allen head bolt with ease. I would think the threads are not strip out.

No it didn't! I mounted it without one because I couldn't find the right one. It's a little wiggly - but works ok.

Yes, a head is required to mount a camera to this tripod, this tripod does not come with a head. You can choose from many different Manfrotto heads depending on your needs and preferences.

I think that you can buy the ball mount alone directly from Curt Manufacturing. It will be found under "Parts".

I doubt it you can. I bought a universal plate for mine but it did not fit. So I bought another Fancier ball head.No plates I know off fits the Fancier ball head.

No, this head connects to the existing hardware. It comes with the 2 pins that hold it to the lift mechanism. Very easy to install.

I mounted mine with a double 1 inch ball mount to a Ram computer mount in my truck. It requires and extra 1 inch ball and double ended extension.

no, this model is for a direct slide into a 2 " receiver(where your ball mount normally is)

It came with it's own, a 3/8" bolt I believe with a cap. The only issue is that the part that rests against the wall is about 8", so it may overhang if your existing mount was shorter.

No it does not have a ball head but it has a very fluid feel to it and works great on my Redfield scope great tripod for the price you can't hardly beat it I've seen more expensive ones not work as well as these do

Yes. My mini-pro Slik III came with the ball head (a shown). My brother-in-law bought a Slik mini that came with a regular rectangular mount that turns and is adjustable, but I do not like it as much as the ball head. (So, if you want the ball head, order this one.) I came home yesterday from a two week Alaska trip. I used it with my Nikon 18-300mm lens (which is heavy), resting the tripod agaist my chest. That stabilization was wonderful - loved it!

The ball head comes with its own plate that is simliar to a ARCA plate. It is as noted earlier small. I have mounted a 70-400mm lens on it and provided one does not push it to extreme angles in appears to work ok. Obviouly this is not the most optimum approach but I wanted to find out out how far I could go for travel purposes.

Yes. I had an extra head of much better quality and simply screwed it on after removing the one that came with product.
