can I use this tripod with or without the rolling part--it looks like it is optional? I am using it for my camcorder with attached mic.

Yes you can use it without the Dolly. Especially when you want to take still pictures.

There is a place for something to be screwed into the bottom of the camera. The instructions that came with it didnot mention what this was for, but said to go on line and see the attachments etc. for it. I am assuming that this is what that's for, but do not have a tripod so have not done so. Sorry to take so long in answering this.

This webcam is not designed to be used with a tripod, but I do think it could be easily modified to work that way. In any case, it is the best webcam I've owned (Actually, I have three!).

I can't answer your question because I have not used the tripod attachment.

I actually unscrew the head from my manfrotto tripod and screw on the slider to the tripod because the head attaches to the sliding part so you have more control of the camera as your sliding it. Hope this makes sense and hope it helps.

It is difficult to use a monopod with a camera directly attached to it. It is much better to use a monopod head like the Manfrotto 234RC Monopod Head. It gives you the ability to tilt the camera. Without a head, your only option is to tilt the monopod itself, which is cumbersome and doesn't allow you to hold the monopod in steadiest way.

Hi, -it's rotatable but we can't confirm whether it can hold a regular camcorder. You can try it. Thank you.

You can use your own tripod, comes with a standard 3/8" hole that fits nearly all tripods. Make sure however that your tripod is sturdy enough, you'll need a heavy duty tripod (non cheapie one you can find for $50-100 on amazon) if you plan on using larger camcorders

Hey, sorry I didn't see this sooner. No, you should not need it with that rig. I primarily use mine to scout or prepare when I am without camera in hand. It is an excellent piece of equipment, and one I look forward to growing into, but I should have waited until I know the camera's metering system inside and out. Talk shop anytime.

I have shot video clips with this very successfully. Works best with no movement of the tripod during shooting. If you use it to move around while filming, get some practice putting right amount of drag on, so you can move fluid and smooth yet still have good control.... works excellent!

Yeah, it comes with an adapter screw thread that makes it work without a tripod head. But i would strongly suggest using it with a tripod head. Otherwise the camera is only stuck in one position on the slider and it's direction is determined by where the thread of the screw stops. So this can make it very hard to set up your shot.

It sounds like you want to use the sling without the sling actually attached to the bottom of our camera?so one will hold the camera if the tripod screw some out. two would be even stronger, but not sure the sling would work properly if it is not attached to the tripod screw.

Yes you can use without tripod head. But you can scratch you canera. You can use a simple balljoint head And is so cheap like 7 or 10 dollars.

I didn't put a tripod on the dolly, but I know it can roll easy with a lot of weight. I have 2 large heavy plastic containers on it and it rolls very easy.

Hi, thanks for your email, I do not sell tripod but make sure that you buy something heavy duty as you do not want to place an expensive heavy Camcorder on a chip tripod.Take care, Norman.

It is designed to be used with a tripod. I prefer to remove the strap, but at times leave it on as well.

No, sadly it just dangles next to your camera. It's not usually an issue unless it's really windy, though. If it is, maybe you could tie it around the tripod, or use tape or Velcro!
