This was sold with Dolcia Monopod. Attaches to my Canon SX50 with np but Dolcia monopod screw is too small for ball head, what am I doing wrong?

You can purchase a male/female adapter (cheaply) that provides the correct interface. If I remember correctly, it's a 1/4" to 3/8" conversion.

You're not doing anything wrong. The ball head receptical is 3/8", but your monopod is most likely the standard 1/4". I don't get it myself. However, you just need a cheap adapter: uxcell 1/4" to 3/8" Camera Convert Screw Adapter for Tripod Monopod That's what did it for me.

That's normal, I bought this to make it fit: Fotasy SR10 Reducer Bushing Convert Screw Adapter with Premier Cleaning Cloth (Silver)

When I bought Dolcia Monopod, I had the same problem while trying to attach it to a table top dolly. I purchased a set of screw adapters from Amazon - problem fixed!http://www.amazon.com/SMALLRIG-Convert-10-pack-Adapter-Tripod/dp/B006R38IJY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1403208472&sr;=1-1&keywords;=screw+adapter

You need to buy an adapter 1/4" to 3/8" to screw into the quick connect ball head. I purchased the following and it does work with the Dolcia monopod. The SMALLRIG ® 1/4" to 3/8" Convert Screw (10-pack) Adapter for Tripod. This item is sold on Amazon and here is the web page link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006R38IJY/ref=pe_385040_30332190_pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_1 Hope that this helps you.

Hello. Yes, the attached Slik SBH-100 ball head can be removed from the monopod itself, so any head with a 1/4"-20 mount can be substituted. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Have a great day! Deven Morgan Event Cameras

I can't give you and exact weight, Mary but I'm using mine on a carbon fiber monopod and it has a solid, well balanced feel. Unlike some ball heads, it locks securely with a simple rotation of a toggle screw. The quick release has the added advantage of a safety locking pin that prevents the camera mounting plate from coming off unintentionally.

This monopod has a 1/4" screw and most ball heads have a 3/8" thread. So you need a 1/4 to 3/8 adapter before you can use many of the common ballheads found on amazon or elsewhere 2x 1/4" Female to 3/8" Male Adapter for Tripod and Camera and Qr Plate/adapter Brass - This is what you need

The link did not work. If it helps, I can mount my Point and Shoot, as well as my Canon SX50 on it. I can't for the life of me think of why you would want to mount your IPad on a Monopod. GOOD LUCK.

have you tried tightening the monopod knob below the knurled camera mount knob?

Do ring screws can be changed, the whole head can be changed. Most mounts I have fit it's a wonderful carbon fiber tripod I have a Canon 100-400mm lens very heavy I got several "heavy-duty" tripods that should of worked. But they didn't. Lens would drop. Also used it with 100mm spotting scope works excellent. I used and it works with 5d, 7d, rebels, canon video cam. Hope this helps. It's a sweet trip pod converts to monopod lightest I ever used.

Hello, I am pleased to answer your question. This ball head does work with a monopod. Be careful which Monopod you choose as on a light model there could be some balancing issues because the Arca Swiss head is not light. I use the Arca Swiss you are asking about on a Gitzo Level 3 Tripod but I have tried it on a Manfrotto Monopod and it works just fine. Claude

The screw post is reversible on the top of the monopod. All you need to do is screw it into either the camera or if your using a telephoto lens with a lens collar- then into that. Some like to have a tilting head attached but to me it makes it too easy to have an accident. When your holding the monopod- the entire rig is attached to it so its steady and secure

No. You can attach the camera directly to the monopod. Manfrotto has this monopod set up to accommodate both sizes of threads, so you can attach the camera, a quick release, or a ball head.

Yes, the ball head comes off and theoretically you could replace it with another ball head. That said, I took the ball head off my bigger tripod and the screw was much "beefier". It appears that the thread on the screw for the Slik Tabletop is an 1/4-20, which is smaller than "normal" ball heads.

Not sure what you got there. This is a stander tripod. Works with my canon point and shoot,my large Canon camera and my power shot sf 40sh . Are you missing the quick release ?

Contact the maker "J. B. Camera designs" he has some 'beta' screws that will solve your problem. I contacted him, he asked for my mailing address and sent me two replacement screws. Works great on a tripod now. Hamish

Make sure the correct end of 501PL is facing towards lens. Is there resistance when you rotate locking lever of right side of tripod head. Also visually check lock lever for function when 501PL is not mounted. Describe in detail what you are doing when inserting and locking it. As Bryan stated, we have no idea of your experience nor what you re doing or not doing. Describe steps please. Else go to a camera shop and ask them.

There is a screw on the underside of the unit for attaching to a tripod. It looks like a standard 1/4" camera screw found on most tripods made in the US. I heve never used it with a tripod but buying a Leica tripod and adapter seems like the best bet for insuring comparability.

You will need a ¼ to 3/8 adapter and it will work just fine. 2 X Metal 1/4" to 3/8" Convert Screw Adapter for Tripod Monopod Ballhead DSLR SLR

Not an issue for me. Are you sure you have the standard U.S. tripod mount threads? If not, you may need an adapter available from most camera supply stores.
