Yes, the base has a standard 3/8" UNC screw. But there is no need to use another head for photography.

The tripod has a 75mm bowl. There should be no problem using that 75mm bowl head.

you could. if your tripod is 1/4" then you need to buy 1/4" to 3/8" converter. the only thing is on the older tripod that does not have set screws on the base to lock down the head, if you did not tighten it much , it may come unloose when you pan from right to left.

You can. I have. But most heads, complete or just the clamp, will not nest completely for closing and transport. If that doesn't bother you, and the tripod with new head fits in the case, go ahead.

For video shooting head matters more. I use this tripod with the Manfrotto 701HDV fluid head and it works good.

Yes, The ball head cann be replaced and the mount screw is 1/4" and 3/8th". I replaced mine to a manfrotto 482 (very small) head to make it even lighter. I have gone back to the original head for more strength. Love this tripod for travel!Herb Booth

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.

Absolutely, and in fact, I have that head and have mounters it on the tripod. any standard 1/4" will work. I think it even comes with a conversion screw for 3/8",

Yes. I got it with the case, however it will not be able to fit additional items like a tripod head. Etc.

Yes you can. It has a bottom where it can screw right in and use on the tripod.

You can always get a tripod head if you don't already have one. Attach the head to the slider then your camera to the release plate of your tripod head. The screw on this slider is standard and should fit into your camera unless your screw may have some manufacturing defects.

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.

Sure! Fasten the pan lock screw, then hold either the tilt or pan handle and turn anticlockwisely to remove the head. This is described in the instruction that comes with the tripod, and I have tried that.

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.

Hello Rob,You can mount another head on this tripod as the head is removable. However it is relative to the size and weight on the pan head. The load capacity is 17.6LB. As long as your total load weight is less than 12LBS or so, you should be fine. Anything above that you may get vibration. Regards,RoozbehOC camera949-347-1276

You should be able to use any retail camera with the tripod. It is lightweight but stable enough for my HD Panasonic Camcorder without wobbling.

I would not recommend this tripod for.this type of work. The stability of the head is a problem and you can't get a clean 90 degree angle for shooting straight down.
