If I extend this to its highest point with a light on it can I rotate the center pole to adjust (turn) the light without turning the entire tripod base?

When you have a light on the stand and have it extended to any level, you can always move it around by untightening it and then moving it. It wont fall down if you hold on to it and even if you don't hold on, it will not fall because of the air cushion.

Yeah. But its kinda shakey at its full extent. I just have a canon 600 rt on it . So if you have like an alien bee or Einstein etc. Dont even look at the stand its not strong enough.

Yes you can rotate it. But I would be cautious about extending to maximum with a light, unless the light is...light. The stand starts to sway a bit (at least for me) with any light over 3 lbs.

Yes, but only after loosening the knuckle that's locking that pole. If you turn it without loosening, you risk damaging the pole. This also applies to all baby stands (this type of light stand) regardless of brand.

You are supposed to be able turn the top of the light, I have yet to figure this one out. This is what the instructions say to do, but unless you hole the flashlight with two sets of vice grips, there is just no way to change it. I keep it on super high lumes all the time and bought the batteries on Amazon, they are like $9 here for 10 at Walgreens you will pay $15 for 2.

Yes. Easily by tilting the plate that fastens the camera to tbe tripod. You can lock the camera in any position between 0 (horizontal) & 90 (vertical) degrees.

The very top of most tripods is a 1/4 screw so you can screw on a camera direct or any female 1/4 item. It's built in - not an adaptor or accessory. I've put a 5dm3 on it buts it's really flimsy and obviously cannot rotate like a fluid ball head could but it'll work in a pinch

Yes, you can. It has it's own tripod stand, it does not get anchored into the ground.

No it can't. I was upset about the fact that it can't really be adjusted much. The direction it faces is based on the position it stops at when you screw it into the light socket. I was never able to get mine to work so I wasted $25 and it was brand new. Hope this helps.

None I can think of aside from making sure the tripod screw is near center. There is some room for lateral adjustment but if it were too far to one edge, it may not work.

If you look at the picture, there is a thumb screw at the bottom and on the side. The thumb screw at the bottom loosens so you can remove the light from the holder and carry it around if you want, or you can loosen it to adjust the tilt side to side. The thumbscrew right below the base loosens so you can adjust it up and down.

It would not be possible to do this since the center light is permanently affixed to the mounting base @ a 90° angle.

You would have to get a light stand to tripod adapter for the thread diameter of the tripod head. Even then, I'm not sure I would use it. The movements of a lightstand are not nearly as stable as a traditional tripods. By that I mean when you loosen the sections on these they drop real fast, and are spring dampened, which may cause some issues with the weight of the camera bouncing, and possibly flipping off the tripod head, because of the force of the camera on the head.

You can tilt the light forward an back, but the actual poles just adjust up and down

Not really. It is not telescopic like the vertical pole...this is probably because if it expanded horizontally it could be put off balance and perhaps fall over if not used anchored. If you anchor securely you might be able to rig your own form of extension.

You can also tilt the lever of your Tripod for full 360 degrees adjustment (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41oh%2Bq7XPBL.jpg)

Yes. You can rotate the light up and down- so it points farther in the distance or closer to your feet. It stays where you point it very wellReese is incorrect.

Yes, pull up, rotate then push down. That is even if you mount the base vertically or horrizontally.

This light can be used with either the stand that puts it up higher or without the stand and that back metal piece flips out just like a picture frame and sit leaned back on whatever surface you want it to. Hope this helps

You can pull the pole out of the tripod legs and it is pointed. Hope this helps.
