how big is the hole on top of the tripod? I need to stick a two inch pole through it...

I don't know the exact size but it is now close to 2 inches it would be more like 3/4 inches however you could use a 2 inch hole saw and cut It 2 inches

when pole is sitting flat on the ground open up to 62" inches camera can screw on at that point... so the answer below with 60 inches might be correct if you take black cap off on bottom.

The widest part of the square that clamps into the tripod is 44mm x 44mm. I bought this relying on the the previous answer and it doesn't fit my tripod.

It works with my 1 inch pole. I am not sure about 2 inches pole. Might be tight!

If your tripod has a 1/4" threaded stud, you will need an adapter. The ballhead fits a 3/8" stud.

Hi Shaun,Merry Christmas! Can't say for sure, but tripod mounts (all I've ever seen) appear to be a standard size, and have been so for the 30+ years I've been into photography. So, my somewhat educated guess would be a fairly emphatic yes.Peace,Dan

It's 3/8" and comes with a 1/4" adapter insert if you wanted to mount it on top of another tripod or similar.

3", give or take a little. Very handy little tripod. However.....since I've upgraded on my camera I've noticed it does strain a little bit trying to hold up the camera (D7100). I've tightened all adjustments and it just doesn't seem to want to hold up the camera.

If you can find one that'll fit, sure! The standard for cameras has long been 1/4"-20 threads. The threads on this tripod look to be more along the lines of 5/16"-18 or possibly 8mm.You may be better served if you can just come up with something suitable to set the tripod on top of, such as concrete blocks or five gallon buckets. They wouldn't necessarily even have to be identical items as the legs will adjust independently, but it is rather vital that whatever you use be stable!

Unfortunately my tripod is in storage, but I'm guessing between 2 and 3 feet

Don, It is a standard camera screw. I don't know the actual size but would guess it looks about that. It says camera tripod so it is in that standard. If it doesn't work out for you, you can always return it.

I think it is about 1/2" to maybe 3/4". It a spring kind of thing. I might be possible to "wind" it through the hole.

It will fit in a 2" hole with room to spare... I used a piece of pipe (2") and the inside will hold the pole. I used sand to "tighten up" the fit.

I can get it down to about 24". I used a tape measure since I was thinking about getting a smaller tripod, but even the expensive ones are around 15"

The 'hole' is 1/4 inch. Thanks to previous answers I take -20 as meaning 20 threads per inch, I was a machinist, 1970s. I bought 'Must have Accessory Kit' and tripod is still in box. Camcorder works fine!

Hi, Briclot. I, too have mine stuck in a,PVCPipe. I think the measurement you are looking for is the notches at the halfway point on the pole. That is 38 1/2 inches from the bottom. To the top holes it is 69 1/2 inches. Enjoy!
