I have an old Davis and Sanford Tripod I've used for stills, nearly 28 years. Will this head fit on all Davis and Sanford Pro Tripods? Mine has the tube in the center, about 1 1/2" to 2" . . .Thanks

This head has a 3/8-16 female thread in the bottom of it, which is among the most common leg to head attachment methods, a bushing can be used to make it fit 1/4-20 stud connections the only issue you may run across is if your legs have a truly professional method of attachment such as Half ball and Bowl method. Even if that is the case Bowl and Ball adapters are available, however they are quite pricey.

That I am not sure.. but a good test would be to buy a cheap mic clip holder and see if that fits your tripod. without the head.

I have a Velbon tripod. It is not the same model but it looks the same as yours. The shoe fits mine perfectly.

Yes. I am actually using a Manfrotto 324rc2 pistol grip head on mine. This tripod is light duty though. I might consider the next size up.

I have absolutely no problem. I use all Manfrotto tripods, monopods, heads, and QD plates, and they all work fine. You did not say if the thread was too small, too large, or not cut correctly. The standard is 3/8 and you may have a tripod with 1/4-20, if so you can buy a thread adapter at any camera store, or at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-088LBP-Adapter-4-Inch--8-Inch/dp/B001CZUSUE/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid;=1376920249&sr;=8-5&keywords;=tripod+3%2F8+to+1%2F4-20+adapter

Sorry I don't have that model number tripod or ball head. Look at the information for this quick release to be sure it will work, or make sure you can return if it doesn't. Good luck.

It has 1/4" and 3/8" on either side of the center longitudinally. The Manfrotto 490 Maxi Ball Head should be able to accept the Manfrotto 357 in either the 1/4" hole or the 3/8" hole(with a 3/8" thread adapter). I use the the Manfrotto 357 on a gimbal head to adjust the balance of the various super-telephotos. When using a ball head I use the Manfrotto 394 RC4 Low Profile Rectangular Rapid Connect Adapter with 410PL Plate. If you have a need to balance super-telephoto lenses then use a Manfrotto 357 Pro Quick Release Adapter with 357PL Plate, otherwise the Manfrotto 394 RC4 Low Profile Rectangular Rapid Connect Adapter with 410PL Plate might be a better choice.

All the Manfrotto tripods I've used have a standard ⅜" screw thread that is compatible with all their own tripod heads along with the Arca Swiss Z1. I'd be very surprised if they made the 290 series of tripods incompatible with their own tripod heads. You shouldn't have any problem.

I use it on a Manfrotto so it fit all standard tripods (I dont remember if it is 1/4 or 3/8"). I use it with a quick release plate.

I put my Manfrotto 234RC on a Manfrotto 3006 monopod. I used a 1/4" to 3/8" adapter, that cost me less than $2.00. The 234RC is 3/8", and my monopod is 1/4". I think these two sizes are probably the industry standard. Either way I don't think you would have a problem. Hope that helped. Mike

I had the same question. Will a standard Arca Swiss type plate fit this head. The previous person said that he has this tripod/head and it's 38mm. My system is all 38mm. Here are the plates that I buy for about $8: http://www.ebay.com/itm/310982101240?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

The support staff at Tiffen (who are the parent company of Davis & Sanford) can answer your question. My tripod came assembled and I have not needed to remove the head. Write techsupport@tiffen.com or call 800-645-2522.

I don't own or have experienced this tripod so I cannot answer definitively yes. However, I went onto the B&H; Photo website to look and I think it will. You may have to change out the screw size, but my guess is that it will work as is.

Unless they have changed the way this tripod is assembled, I would be careful buying it. The head, on the one I had, was GLUED on and not screwed on. After some time, it came loose and put my camera at risk of falling. I contacted the manufacturer and expressed my concern. I would check with the manufacturer to see whether they have corrected this problem.

As far as I can tell, ther should be no issues with attaching another brand of BallHead or other tripod head, as there are the typical 1/4-20 threads on top, which is standard for any tripod I've worked with. Hope this helps, good shooting!

Maybe? My buddy has this scope and if I remember correctly the balance point is not the same as the tripod screw so he needs to use the friction nob on his non manfrotto head. I have this 128lp head and it has a slot so if you can get it to balance over the center it should work ok, otherwise it may take a lot of screw pressure to keep it stable.

Hello,I am not familiar with this tripod.Have you contacted the manufacterer? Also try the many knowledgeable photo stores in NYC. They seem to know everything. I am sorry I was not able to give you a specific answer.I had to use a Xacto knife to make mine fit. Frustrating and dangerous!
