Will this work with tripod ball heads of the quick release (not screw on) type?

Yes it will, as long as you attached a quick release plate to it... very chip and usefull

I've purchased a number of ball & socket heads for various equipment, Clamps, flat camera holder, tripods so I don't know which is the ballhead that you're referring to. All the ones I purchased were small - in the neighborhood of two inches. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Yes. It has the standard 1/4 thread on the bottom of the screw knob so you can mount it to your tripod.

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.

No the plate would not fit the tripod but if you check the dimensions of the fluid head bowl on your tripod you may be able to get another fluid head to mount on your tripod that has the kind of quick release plates you may be looking for.

Call the manufacturer and ask if the "PU-50" quick release plate work. Though it may if your tripod uses a clamping device to secure the plate. It works on my mefoto tripod.

No. It is also a female screw which allows you to attach it to a quick release plate for your tripod head.

As long as your camera has a 1/4 male connector, it will fit. Another thing to consider is the weight, your ballhead+tripod combination must be at least 1.5 times heavier than your camera+biggest lenses combo.

This should work on most standard Manfrotto heads. I have two heads and it works great. It is very sturdy.

The head of the tripod does come off very easily, however I do not know about the compatability.

I can't say for sure because I don't have your camera or ball head; however, I cannot see any reason why it would not. With my camera (Canon 60D) I just had to make sure the vertical part of the plate is not flush against the side of the camera. As long as I can keep a decent space, I can get my cable release to work. An alternative to using a cable release would be to use the camera's 2 second or 10 second timer. That, of course, only works with a relatively static subject. My advice would be to buy it and try it. If it doesn't work for you, return it. It's a very good plate at a nice price. I am pleased with mine.

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.

No, the slider has a set screw which is compatible with most any tripod head. The photo depicts a camera and head mounted onto the slider.

I'm not sure. I use an Acratech GV2 ball head with quick release, if that's any help. My camera is a Nikon D7000 and the biggest lens I have is 400mm. It's a great tripod -- very sturdy.

I looked at my Rokinon monopod. Like my tripods, it has a shoe with a camera screw that detaches from the unit. I haven't ever given much thought to using a 'ball head' on a monopod.

Yes, the ball head is screwed on the tripod via a 3/8 inch thread screw, you certainly can replace it with somethingelse.

You have to purchase a ball head separately. Manfrotto has many to choose from. Manfrotto 494RC2 Ball Head with Quick Release Replaces Manfrotto 484RC2by Manfrotto
