Will this work with the Velbon DF-40, as in in the video it shows you have to unscrew the existing tripod head.

Joe, best I can do is what I've stated previously. Screw the grip to camera platform on your tripod.

I have tried to answer this question several times, but it keeps coming up. The 620 has a standard 1/4-inch threaded receptacle on the bottom. Any 1/4" screw should fit. Hope this helps.

Hi Joe! The bottom of the grip has female 1/4x20 to accept male from tripod without taking anything apart. Attach like you would a camera & have the extra flexibility instantly rather than conventional knobs and levers that come with most tripods. I am not familiar with the tripod you mention--only that it fits easily onto existing tripod shoe. All my best, James

Fotga Qr Quick Release Plate for Tripod Sony D580rm D680rm Cx-888 Cx-460 Velbon Qb-4wby FOTGA should work fine. It is "Sony" compatible, and has a 44mm square base dimension. Velbron also has similar products

You need an arca-swiss mount on the tripod, Manfrotto does not work with this bracket. So yes you do need to be able to dovetail the bracket into an arca-swiss type adapter.

Sorry, it is a 1/4 inch hole.I checked the Velbon Ultra Luxi tripod's pin that engages the head with my calipers and it is a 1/4 inch pin.The head does not have any other hole, so you will need to get an adaptor to allow you to use your tripod.These are fairly cheap, but a pain in the neck to use. Can you get a different tripod?

Hello Harry. It seems the tripod has a standard thread so you can swap it with any head of your choosing. Note though, the screw is not the 1/4 inch-20, but the heavier bolt size. The pistol grip will give you super easy 2-axis movement, but the head that is shipped has an excellent panning feature separate from the ball function and the ball has both a locking knob and a friction knob that lets you have fairly fluid 2-axis movement. I'm actually very impressed with this tri/monopod - they surpased my expectation for a Chinese product and it more closely resembles the popular Italian line.

I received this today, and the head came off the tripod. I did not see any screws but it seemed that the head was superglued to the tripod. Is this how it should be?

I now have this tripod and also the Velbon S-6000 ... they use the same QR plate ... "Velbon QB-4W Quick Release Platform". I've tested and confirmed at my end. No problems.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!! Works with both of my 5DMII's beautifully. Also on my 40D. This is a good buy! Go for it!! The ONLY drawback I have is there's no loop on the remote to allow you to attach it to a lanyard. So you'll need to keep the remote in hand, or do like I did for really long exposures: put a velcro strip on it and attach it to the tripod.

Yes, the ball head is screwed on the tripod via a 3/8 inch thread screw, you certainly can replace it with somethingelse.

Sure! Fasten the pan lock screw, then hold either the tilt or pan handle and turn anticlockwisely to remove the head. This is described in the instruction that comes with the tripod, and I have tried that.

Yes, it should work with most of Manfrotto's tripod legs. Most tripod legs have a 3/8ths inch screw on top that fits most tripod heads like this one.

The Ball Head can be replaced with any 1/4X20 threaded product however, you will lose the compact size if you replace it with one of the larger units. I shoot a D3S with mostly prime lenses and it works OK. If the ground conditions or wind is blowing, I use my larger Manfrotto Tripod with the professional head.

I put the Manfrotto quick connect-disconnect on this monopod and it works great. I don't think the ball head will work.

The ball head does unscrew from the tripod leaving a threaded post that would allow the head to be changed provided the post and threads are the same. sorry I don't know the size of the threaded post.

I don't know, but I advance from the Velbon models and bought a Manfrotto 128RC and LOVE it !!! Take a look at it.
