Can the FC-270A head be taken off and put on the Vanguard Alta Pro 264AT tripod? Can it also be put on a slider? Thanks in advance!

This is a bowl head tripod, so it can only be used with legs designed to accept a bowl head. It can not be used on a slider.

The head on the FC-270A is a standard sized 75mm half-ball video head. Yes it can be mounted on a slider, but you will need a 75mm bowl mount. As for the Vanguard tripod, I am sure it could be adapted for it, but it seems like that would be unwieldy.

This has the standard 1/4 - 20 thread size and I haven't had any problems attaching anything to it. If the male threads on your tripod is larger than 1/4 - 20 you could buy an adapter for around a buck or so and I'm thinking it would work. I'm using an Alta Pro 264AT with a Vanguard SBH-250 head and a Canon 50D. Sometimes this combination is not as solid as I'd like but I can work with it. It does work very well for fine tuning macro focus and for taking multiple focus stack macro photos. I've been thinking about using it to take some 3D macro images by moving the camera left and right. I think this is a pretty good tool for the money.

Depending on your tripod, you should be able to mount the slider on it. It screws right on like a camera.

Any ordinary mounting plate can be used to mount and stabilize the slider on a tripod(s), as for the camera you will need some sort of fluid ball head to attach the camera to the slider!

Yes you can. I use it on a glidetrack (glidetrack.com) slider and it works far better than a bulky tripod head. Only thing to check is the size of the thread on your slider, you may need some sort of adapter for the tread size. Here is a good one: Manfrotto 088LBP Adapter.I use the Lumix gh2 camera with this and it works great. I would caution you that adding a lot of weigh to your slider can limit performance. I would recommend a slider with ball-bearings.

I ordered a collar on ebay....works great on the slider....but it is a little awkward. The lens just slides smoothly back and forth on the tripod while it is attached to the camera.Works good for me...don't tighten the collar too tight as it effects the rubber coating around the slider....you can do it.

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.

I honestly do not know if it is removable. I have used this for a sporting tournament over a 5 day period where it was non stop action and shots all day (using as monopod) and I had no complaints with ball head. I have also used this in portrait sessions and again have nothing but high raves to say about it. I'm sorry that doesn't directly answer your question but I am quite happy with this product.

This Head use the Vanguard QS-60 Quick Release plates. I am not familiar with any plates by other manufacturers that are compatible.

it is not possible to just remove the head and put it on a tripod because of the way it attaches to the monopod. It's essentially a giant screw on system that is removable and interchangable between manfrotto monopods.

Yes, the slider can be used with or without a tripod head. Make sure to keep the track very clean before using it. Also, make sure you use some kind of lubrication on the track like WD40. This is a super small slider and it looks even smaller through a camera, so don't expect an amazing tracking shot. It's not bad, just not long enough.

Unfortunately no. When the head detaches from the handle the screw remains on the bottom of the head. I had to buy a small manfrotto head to put on my slider.

That is the frustrating thing about this set up if you're just starting out building your gear kit. Its great together but taking that head off is pointless- however, you have options. While I reccomend buckling down, saving your cash, and buying the 502HD ($200) or 500ah ($170) to use on a tripod or slider, there are pan bases you can attach to the bottom of the 500 head like the feisol Pb-70. It has a 70 mm base which I believe will work with the 500 head you've got. However, it's clumsy and unreliable. Trust me. Appreciate that you have a great monopod setup, the best in fact. And that if you're considering a separate pan head for other video rigging, you'll want the 502HD, or the 500AH if you really must save $30.

The slider itself can handle a heavy head and camera but you'll need to use two stout tripods to mount it in that case, or rest it on a table.

The support for this head is the window of the car, is not conditioned for tripod. I can say that the construction is very solid and firm. I install it when I go by road in the field, the camera is easy to place and the birds allow to be more near the normal of this form. To adapt it you would have to disarm and damage the packings it, better for the tripod the Vanguard SBH-250
