Can this be mounted on any standard ballhead to convert it to arca swiss?

The center hole is tapped for 3/8-16, and a 1/4-20 adapter is included, so it should be mountable on any ballhead, although the level of surgery required on the ballhead may vary. Most will simply require that a screw be removed.

I mount or to the pinhead by ordinary 1/4 tripod screws worst case: needing an adapter sleeve if it were to have a European tapped socket.

This is not an item attached to the ballhead or tripod mount. It is attached to the camera body to be inserted in a Swiss Arca-type mount that is attached to the tripod.

Dean is confused, Levi is correct. If the top of the ball head is threaded with a standard thread 3/8-16 or 1/4-20 then this clamp could be attached. I would probably recommend some loctite on the threads especially if usign the reducer, of course this is only a good idea if you are not wanting to remove it anytime soon.

Cotton Carrier makes an adapter for their system (this is a knock-off of that) that allows you to mount the hub to an arca swiss compatible tripod head. The adapter is about the same price as this entire system though. Well worth it though; I wouldn't be able to use my camera without it...way too inconvenient. I have the CC system though. Not sure if CC will work with this system, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't.

Yes you can, but front end geometry will be way out.be ready to wear out CV'S / drive axels

Yes and no! Though I have the 62" tripod, the ball head is the same. The Amazon plate is 39 mm wide and open at the narrow sides, ArcaSwiss plates have 40 mm and a closed frame. Maybe You need to adjust the clamp by turning the hidden screw in the knob counterclockwise; after that all 40 mm dovetail plates ca be layed in, and the safety pin does not disturb anymore.

No...it is not compatible with Manfrotto RC-2 mounting plates. I have both the Arca-Swiss and Manfrottos RC-2 systems and tried it. The clamp on the ballhead I received will not open wide enough to accept a Manfrotto RC-2 plate.

No. It is Arca-Swiss compatible. You will need an Arca-Swiss plate on the bottom of your camera. It can be attached to any any tripod including a Mafrotto but it cannot accept the Mafrotto quick release plate.

It should fit onto the tripod stud- an adapter is included. The diameter of the base of the ballhead and the diameter of the tripod mounting area may not be a match, but that usually does not affect the use of either.

This can be used on any English or US Japanese threaded hub ~ Italian, French or Swiss threading won't work

It won't be a direct fit. You will also need Arkon part #SP-SBH-KIT. This part locks into the back of the Universal Mount, and then onto the 17mm ball joint. With this part it's a perfect fit and a good mounting solution.

All ArcaSwiss-compatible plates will fit. But attention: The original Amazon plate is a little bit smaller, so compatible plates may seem too big because the clamp is adjusted too tight from the factory and the safety bolt disturbs, too. Adjust the clamp by the hidden screw in the turning knob and You can lay in in and fix every compatible plate You want.

best if you skip this type of head and look for arca swiss compatible. If you're using the F2.8 version might look into Smith-Victor BH5. Arca compatible and can handle large loads.

Yes - 6mm dia. x 26mm long x 1.0 pitch threads. But if you are mounting permanently to a ball head you can probably use the screw that is currently on the head.

Yes, mine came with the small swiss Arca type plate however, it accepts the regular size as well. The ball_head can be replaced. The thread size is larger than 1/4 inch, I assume it will be the 3/8.

I agree with the others. You will need a tripod mount that is Arca-Swiss compatible. If this is the case, you are good to go. If not, you'll need a different tripod mount or look for a bracket that is compatible with you model of mount.

Yes Tom this will fit. They are eventually doing away with all of the other types of heads and hope to have everything convert to the speed feed. Hope this helps.

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 am guessing yes! The top left knob works like a vice and releases the side pressure on the mounting plate. The orange button top center is a safety release which allows you to leave the mounting plate attached to the camera. As long as the arca -swiss mount has the same dimensions it should work! The 2 mounting plates that come with this particular ball head measures 2 inches by 1 5/8 inches. I hope this helps.
