Is the head interchangeable? I may want to invest in a Gimbal head but only if the head can be changed on this model.

I believe the ball and a portion of the stock can be removed but the platform itself cannot. I hope this helps. Otherwise it is a super light, sturdy tripod and has been taken into the field many times.

Yes, it is. I think they even include the Allen wrench for the job...if I temember correctly.

I would doubt it, most manufactures don't make there parts interchangeable.

I assume the head on the various models are identical, the bodies would be different

The answer is yes, you can. I replaced the head on mine with a Giottos MH-1002 Ballhead and a quick release plate that allows me to use standard Bogen QR plates on my camera.

Motor should be interchangeable. My jack was seized and the old motor fit on the new jack just fine.

Yes. You can use most heads for this tripod. I swap my Jobu gimbal and Acratech ball head interchangeably.

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

Hi. I don't think so, as the rotating head is quite wide and there are no spares in different shape that you can use. I hope I was helpfull.

I don't know if this will work on your tripod. I used it on a very heavy tripod that I had purchased to use with telescope binoculars. (now i use the tripod with a very lens heavy slr camera) I can't remember any trouble in swapping the heads; I would rather just purchase a different tripod; but this head simply threaded onto the tripod body without a problem.

Sorry I don't have that model number tripod or ball head. Look at the information for this quick release to be sure it will work, or make sure you can return if it doesn't. Good luck.

Unless they have changed the way this tripod is assembled, I would be careful buying it. The head, on the one I had, was GLUED on and not screwed on. After some time, it came loose and put my camera at risk of falling. I contacted the manufacturer and expressed my concern. I would check with the manufacturer to see whether they have corrected this problem.

Definitely not interchangeable. The riser is a composite material (not aluminum) and it is molded for right hand shooting. My kids have been using it for over 6 months. I also have the Martin XR which is interchangeable, that I purchased elsewhere.

As far as I can tell, ther should be no issues with attaching another brand of BallHead or other tripod head, as there are the typical 1/4-20 threads on top, which is standard for any tripod I've worked with. Hope this helps, good shooting!

Yes, the ball head comes off and theoretically you could replace it with another ball head. That said, I took the ball head off my bigger tripod and the screw was much "beefier". It appears that the thread on the screw for the Slik Tabletop is an 1/4-20, which is smaller than "normal" ball heads.

These heads have multi-compatibility for various models: Essence, Xtreme, Elite and Advance. Worst case scenario, I'm sure you could return it.

Hope I'm not wrong, but I think the heads are interchangeable. I believe I've got a diamond head as well as another head that I've used on the same base.

No, not interchangeable, It would have been good to change them out but they do not fit each other.
