Practically any tripod that has a 3/8" threaded base ought to work. For my project I converted a nice piece of driftwood into a walking stick/monopod by using a 3/8" hanger bolt so the screw half could be put into the top of the driftwood staff and the bolt end would protrude and allow me to thread on the ball head. Works great.In theory you could use a 1/4 to 3/8 inch adapter depending on your old ball head and the legs you select. As a general rule, cameras are threaded 1/4" - 20 threads per inch and leg bases and tripod mounts are threaded 3/8" - 16 threads per inch.

It fit tripods and monopods with a 3/8" attachment screw, like the 190 series or 055 series tripods. Manfrotto's website has all of the specs listed for this head: http://www.manfrotto.com/mini-ball-head-with-rc2-rapid-connect-system

All you need is a simple adapter that screws into the larger, female on the 494RC2. That is what I use for my monopod. You need a 1/4 to 3/8.

Not sure what you mean.The only three screw configuration I see on the tripod are the leg screws.If one of these is lost it looks like to me ant quarter inch short bolt and nut would do the job?

The 501PL is compatible with the 503 Series Head. How familiar are you with your tripod head and this plate? I have some suggestions for things to try but I don't want to sound condescending because all of them are obvious. There's always the chance that you received a defective plate, or your tightening knob on the side of your tripod head is not functioning correctly.

My tripod, folded, is 21" without head. I have a G1178M ball head which is 3.75" making it a total of 24.75" long.

you could. if your tripod is 1/4" then you need to buy 1/4" to 3/8" converter. the only thing is on the older tripod that does not have set screws on the base to lock down the head, if you did not tighten it much , it may come unloose when you pan from right to left.

It won't work because you need legs that have a 75mm bowl due to the "75 mm diameter half ball" feature of the head for leveling. This way the tripod head sits in the legs. I would recommend these legs: Manfrotto 535 Carbon Fiber 2-Stage Video Tripod with 75mm Bowl (Black)

You're not doing anything wrong. The ball head receptical is 3/8", but your monopod is most likely the standard 1/4". I don't get it myself. However, you just need a cheap adapter: uxcell 1/4" to 3/8" Camera Convert Screw Adapter for Tripod Monopod That's what did it for me.

It has a 3/8 threaded hole for which you could get an adapter to take it down to 1/4 20. It's a hefty head so just make sure the tripod is strong enough to take it.

As long as your camera has a 1/4 male connector, it will fit. Another thing to consider is the weight, your ballhead+tripod combination must be at least 1.5 times heavier than your camera+biggest lenses combo.

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.

you need the type and model of your tripod and the type and model of whatever you are installing on the tripod and go to the website of velbon and look for the product that will match your items
