Will this tripod work with a pan head? if so, what one?

I'm so sorry, someone recommended this tripod to me but I know nothing about camera equipment, so I don't know what a pan head is.

You could unscrew the ball head and replace it with a pan head, but I doubt that you will be able to fully close the assembly to the same compact form that you get with the ball head.The portability of this tripod/head is usually one of the main reasons people buy it. You could always mount and unmounts the head for transport.

Hello Rob,You can mount another head on this tripod as the head is removable. However it is relative to the size and weight on the pan head. The load capacity is 17.6LB. As long as your total load weight is less than 12LBS or so, you should be fine. Anything above that you may get vibration. Regards,RoozbehOC camera949-347-1276

The pan head on the Amazon tripod is attached to the extension tube. The extension tube has a 3/8 in. bold on the other end. I suppose in a pinch you could attach either of the heads you referenced by reversing the extension tube. (I tested that the tube can be reversed with the attached pan head below.) Alternatively if you can find a 28 mm (1.1 in) tube with a 3/8 in. bolt that would work also. You may also be able to remove the existing tube from its head, albeit, you may ruin the pan mechanism. If I had either of the expensive heads you referenced I would be inclined to spend the money on a more compatible tripod.

I can't answer the question based on the tripod alone. You will have bought a head to put on top of the tripod. If you tell me the model of the head I might be able to to tell you if the plate will fit your particular tripod head. I have a Manfrotto 128RC Microfluid head for my tripod. I've been using these plates for quite a while and I haven't had any issues at all. I have the original plate plus these two. When I'm using my tripod, I'm not even really aware which plate I grabbed from my camera bag. They're fine.

Yes, this CAN be used with out a tripod head although it would be better to use a head for easier angles. (Almost a year later, lol)

The PH-157Q is a universal panhead. As long as your tripod panhead is not glued to the leg assembly and the panhead can be removed and replaced.

The head should fit all tripods, as the threads are standard. I have this head. It is excellent! The base is a little wider than the base of my Manftoto tripod, but barely noticable.

It should work with any tripod as I have used it on my other tripod without any problems.

Yes I do recommend a head for this tripod. I researched the heads at the Manfrotto website and was a big help in me deciding what head to purchase.

Yes It can fit on any head if the plate will screw into the clamp. I did a job yesterday with the Manfrotto tripod.

The tripod has a 75mm bowl. There should be no problem using that 75mm bowl head.

Probably not the best one for panning since it doesn't have a handle for it, I use mine on a monopod.

It tilts up and down well. It does pan but you have to hold the handle still because it will pan from the ball joint from the bottom it you don't. I have S2 but I do believe they all fit tripod mounts.

Sure. I use a Manfrotto 234RC Monopod Head Quick Release on mine. Works like a charm. Still cannot believe the great price on such quality.

I don't understand the question. I use this tripod with a manfrotto ball head and it works fine

Depends which tripod dolly. Most can usually work, but you might want to ask the manufacturer of the dolly.

It has a 3/8" attachment. No, a 1/4" tripod will not work. This thing is really heavy and very stiff when moving panning. Very heavy duty...I like mine. Ben

It pans from the base of the tripod, not the head. It is great though. It is the best monopod I've ever seen!
