Can you shoot horizontal pictures with this tripod and head?

Yes! I assume you mean can the head be rotated between landscape and portrait...

The head is oriented to shoot with the camera taking a straight horizontal shot. You will have to experiment with camera placement on the head plate and using the tilt / pan adjustment knobs to get the vertical or overhead views you desire. I use this tripod for all my shooting: star shots, multi-shot panoramics, portraits and even as a video mount. Very versatile. Will also allow you to use a Manfrotto ball-head should you choose.

Yes you can use without tripod head. But you can scratch you canera. You can use a simple balljoint head And is so cheap like 7 or 10 dollars.

Yes, you can use a light weight tripod becuase the camera is light weight and small.

I'm not familiar with your tripod, but if it currently holds a fluid head then it may be possible. I think this head is a bit large to use with a monopod but thats just my preference to go as light as possible on monopods. I think for the $, this is a decent head and a good investment. If you get it and realize that it won't work with your legs, I think upgrading to a beefier set of legs is the better alternative to going with a different head. But obviously it depends on what you need it for.If you plan on using it in the monopod configuration then this head may make your setup a bit top heavy.

it is not possible to just remove the head and put it on a tripod because of the way it attaches to the monopod. It's essentially a giant screw on system that is removable and interchangable between manfrotto monopods.

Yes you can. In fact in my experience it works better by attaching it to a tripod.

This little camera CAN'T be used with a tripod unfortunately. You might be able to jerry rig something but I wouldn't really recommend it. It's still a fun camera to own though.

Yes with this system you can either remove the included Plate holder mount , or you can do like me and put a plate on the bottom of a head and use it either way with or without Tripod head I like doing it this way for versatility.

Tara, yes the tripod can be used in either way, just by setting the plate that screws to the camera to either horizontal or vertical plane.This is the best inexpensive tripod I have ever owned- and I have had 4 or 5 before this one. It is sturdy, well constructed I have used it outdoors in moderate wind conditions (deer hunting) and it is heavy enough to stand up well in those circumstances. (It is better in those conditions if you don't extend it to its tallest. I used it while siltting on a chair.)
2150025
Yes but you need to use a remote shutter because it's hard to keep steady even with a tripod.
2245552
Possible yes. Would I recommend it, not a chance. If you want interchangeable heads then get a set of legs designed for them. This tripod works reasonably well as is, but it's not really designed to have interchangeable heads. Once you start messing with it to change the head, I'm pretty sure you'll find that what you end up with is a lot of slop/wobble/play regardless of what head you have on it.

Yes, you will need some form of head. I believe the tripod has a 3/8" thread for a head mount, the head will have a 1/4" thread for the camera mount.
2237776
Yes you can. Lately most tripod have an adapter, the adapter can easily fit .
1363705
You can, but it doesn't seem very stable. I think it is designed for the horizontal position.
111503
Yes it can. If you go to the the Dolica website, they show a picture of this tripod with the center pole reversed and the camera and ball head underneath allowing you to shoot at ground level.

It is difficult to use a monopod with a camera directly attached to it. It is much better to use a monopod head like the Manfrotto 234RC Monopod Head. It gives you the ability to tilt the camera. Without a head, your only option is to tilt the monopod itself, which is cumbersome and doesn't allow you to hold the monopod in steadiest way.

Can't say for sure what others are using the horizontal head mounts for, but I have used them for attaching ball heads. The swivel part of the ball head is usually turned up 90 degrees and locked, allowing the fastening of a microphone, digital audio recorder, small camcorder, etc. I have saved a couple of event videos by simply running two camcorders simultaneously. I'm sure the possibilities could go on and on. It might be noted that Manfrotto has a more expensive version of this horizontal bar, and it, too, has the threaded rod attachment points on each end as well. Hope this helps a bit.
