What is the difference: "Tripod, Ball Head, + Level" ($49.47) and "Tripod with Ballhead" ($56.00)? No level on the second and it is $6 more expansive?

The more expensive package is probably from another distributor and is a discontinued package from Jobi. You want the bubble level.

Here are a couple YouTube videos which explain the different features of the tripod. You have several different heads to chose from. So you will have to purchase a head.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmenklsAZX8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSD-hvrqFY4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpor9c3F104I really like mine.

I would recommend it for sure because the tripod is hard to get level and the ball head has a level on it. You will have less frustration adjusting the ball head than trying to get the flexible legs adjusted.

I own this tripod and the legs are very strong and sturdy. No ball mount, just left right pan and up down tilt fluid head. Fluid head can be a tad stiff....I'd say it's a 8 out of 10 compared to a manfrotto fluid head. For the price.....it's worth I just for the legs and you can upgrade the head later. That's what I'll be doing.

Head detaches from tripod. It's a ball head. I use this tripod/head for video all the time. It's not incredible heavy, so if there is a lot of ground vibration (people jumping, heavy equipment, etc.) it might not be the best choice, but it's easy to set up/transport, the fluid head is really surprising for the price, and I've definitely got my money's worth out of it --over and over.

This tripod doesn't include a head, you'll have to buy the head seperately.

I ended up getting a ballhead because the grip is too big--i want it to be smaller profile and portable. I got the Manfrotto head 494RC2. It's a smaller base than designed for this tripod but it works and is cheap: Manfrotto 494RC2 Ball Head with Quick Release Replaces Manfrotto 484RC2

I'm not sure if the items are available without the tripod, but I as well already had a decent tripod before my purchase and I absolutely love this one. It is light, compact and very durable. I actually use it more than my old one now.

The plates aren't based on the tripod. You have to buy a head separately. That should come with a couple of plates. This tripod isn't intended to be connected to the camera directly. Any Manfrotto ball head would work perfect and they sell these legs with different heads as a combo package.

It is just the tripod only, no, carrying case. You will have to do some research and check out the carrying case you want. There are a variety to choose from.

I like the 561 better because of the legs at the bottom allowing you to balance the monopod without holding it. Also the fluid head is amazing! If I were to shoot a soccer game in windy conditions, id look at a tripod since its a little more stable than a monopod.

I was unhappy that there is not a ball head to allow for much more adjusting of my Nikon D5100. It is fairly stable, although do not stand in front of it with your back turned....walked into mine. It feel over with my camera. Yikes. My big 105mm lens and camera do not seem too heavy so the Handycam will hold the weight. Panning the camera could be a problem. No Instructions available from Polaroid either...grrrr. Ask on Flickr about using this tripod.

Yes this product comes with the 546BK tripod and the MVH502A fluid head. If you have ordered this specifik order and not get the fluid head or the fluid head but without plate, you should contact amazon and get them to send the missing thing (:

I have never compared the two directly. However, I can say that the Dolica TRIPOD seems to be pretty high quality. I doubt you will see much difference there. As to the included ballhead on the Dolica... let's just say I wish they sold the two separately.

It goes with the sienna plein air tripod about $150 but we do not sell it. Sorry.

Its a good tripod but I'm not pleased with the head. I switched to an Arca type and its a perfect combination.

I have a ballhead in addition to my tripod, and it works excellent. Yes, ballhead costs, but it is a good value for money even only for the one click to connect-disconnect. In addition the ballhead has a bubble level and you receive rotation in all axis for the camera having your tripod wrapped and fixed around anything.
