Yes, you can but you will have to buy the quick release plate if you want it to be easy taking off and put it back in. The kit doesn't come with the quick release kit. Hope this help.. Good luck

Yes. You'll have to remove tripod head and it wont be too steady but it can work. It did for me; just be gentle on your moves.

Yes, it can be mounted. I just tried to mount it on my tripod and monopod and it did work nicely.

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

There is a place at the bottom to mount a tripod plate to. I mounted it to my manfrotto 501head. It doesn't come with one. You will need the plate from your tripod. Hopefully that helps.

Yes you can. It has a bottom where it can screw right in and use on the tripod.

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.

The plates aren't based on the tripod. You have to buy a head separately. That should come with a couple of plates. This tripod isn't intended to be connected to the camera directly. Any Manfrotto ball head would work perfect and they sell these legs with different heads as a combo package.

You could,but; I am assuming that your tripod has a thumbscrew and wheel on the top of it. If so, you would have to drill a hole in the mounting strap of the camera, find a washer and a nut (to fit the screw) to connect the two. It might look a little funky, but it would work.

It will not mount directly to a tripod as it does not have 1/4" x20 taped holes on the bottom for a quick release plate to screw into. The bottom rail mount that is included does however, have two 1/4" x20 holes that I used to insert two smaller third-party nuts and bolts and put the quick release on that way. So, it is possible (and I use this cage on a day-to-day basis) just not out of the box. Side note - I have upgraded all of my 15mm rail components except this cage because I like it so much. (highly recommended)

Nope! I wouldn't risk it. This thing is crap. I have the 290 series Tripod and Monopod from Manfrotto and am very satisfied. Not worth it to skimp a few bucks.

Never tried it with a tripod but there is a spot for you to screw it onto a tripod.

yes but that is not reccomended. if you are holding it with your hands instead of tripod mounting it its lack of mobility will have you dead real quick

Hello Antonette. I guess you can but I am not so sure how safe will your camera be without being attach to the Manfrotto plate you know?. I have never used it that way. To be safe I would recommend you write to BlackRapid an e-mail and confirm with them how safe it is to use this FastenR alone without a plate ok?. Mine works perfectly with the Manfrotto PL200 plate. It is very flat and very very secure!!!. Good luck.... Aaron...

The Pro version of the capture clip has a manfrotto option, but I don't know much about whether it's compatible with your setup or not (I'm an Arca guy). If you go to Peak Design's current kickstarter, they're upgrading the quick release so that you don't have to choose a dual-manfrotto/arca plate or a plain arca plate when you purchase the clip. It's got screw-on shims that change the angle of the bevels on the plate, depending on which setup you're going to use.

Yes you can. I prefer using this ball head over a tripod head. I think you will really like it once you get comfortable with it.
