Will this work on a monopod? Is that long stick in the middle of the head removable?

It won't even remotely work on a monopod - it's meant for a ball socket. You can remove the mounting brace. and maybe even screw in a monopod if the thread is compatible - but you'd definitely buying the wrong head if you intend to use it on a monopod. It's also meant for much larger cameras then you'd ever want to put on a monopod.This would probably be a much better choice: Manfrotto 128RC Micro Fluid Head with 200PL 14 RC2 Rapid Connector Plate

No, it would not work on a monopod, it is very large. Yes the middle section is removable, for inserting onto a 75mm bowl tripod. You can try the 502 video head. Manfrotto 502 Video Head MVH502AH

I have used this ball head on a monopod for wildlife photography shooting a Canon 50D and Sigma 120-400mm zoom. I have also used it on a tripod for landscape photography including panoramas. It works great.

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.

This is not an answer, but a question for the person who asked if the bottom is removable. I read that you bought you went ahead and bought the monopod in hopes of modifying the bottom and replacing it with the monopod legs. Were you successful? And if any of you could answer this, how wide is the bottom of the monopod? Thank you very much for your time.

It has a standard screw mount, like any tri-pod...but it's not really a 'monopod' to speak, more an extension bar...it works perfect for little point & shoot cameras, like the Power Shot. It should work fine. (but I don't think it works so good as a monopod, it lacks the stability of the 'foot') :)

My 681 Manfrotto / Bogen mono pod has a dual thread mount, so yes it will mount. I also have the extra tri pod type base that allows my mono to have feet. But IMO, and as Jim said heavy, so it kind of defeats the purpose of the mono pod, light, thin, etc. I'd use say a 3020 3D or 3265 head if you need more options but it is not a sturdy platform for shake free video which I assume you will be using it for.

Yes, it has in the center a thread that you could attach to a monopod, a tripod etc. I've attached mine to a mini tripod, works well.

The screw-head on my Manfrotto 676B is camera sized, but the hole in the head ;-) is much larger. Where would I get an adapter? Is it for the head or the monopod?

I can't give you and exact weight, Mary but I'm using mine on a carbon fiber monopod and it has a solid, well balanced feel. Unlike some ball heads, it locks securely with a simple rotation of a toggle screw. The quick release has the added advantage of a safety locking pin that prevents the camera mounting plate from coming off unintentionally.

You can use it with a tripod - I dont see any reason why you could not use it for a monopod as well

Yes, this version of monopod has a fixed plate, so if you want to tilt a camera, you need to buy a separate head.

The monopod does not include a head. You can buy all manner of tilting, swiveling, and ball and socket heads separately. (I bought it to manage a spotting scope, and didn't buy a head.)

This particular unit would not hold up a monopod due to the fact that it is a smaller type or gorilla pod and it is meant for pocket cameras but works with my heavier dslr as long as it is standing straight up.

I'm not sure what the "stick" is. The handle that sticks out from the tripod to adjust the angle is attached to the mount that is connected to the tripod if that helps. I found the whole thing to lack much functionality and have not used it since the one time I first tried it.

I put the Manfrotto quick connect-disconnect on this monopod and it works great. I don't think the ball head will work.

I just got it shipped in not too long ago and to answer your question you would need an attachment that screws onto a monopod. I haven't had the pole longer than a week and it already broke when I opened extended it. So I recommend maybe getting a pole with a little more value so you can enjoy filming for a little longer than I did

if the Targus monopod has a standard 1/4''-20 camera mount on top this Ball Head will NOT attach directly to the Targus unless you also buy or make a 3/8"-16 adapter. (look up: 1/4" to 3/8" Camera Convert Screw Adapter for Tripod Monopod) this is a fairly large ball mount. the bottom portion of this ball mount is about 2" in diameter and has a good size top plate as well (note: the one i have is actually a bit different than the one shown in this picture. the top plate on mine is larger than this one)
