Hi, is there any way this ball head can be fitted with the Q2 quick release?

This should be what you are looking for... http://www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-MH054M0-Q2-Magnesium-Quick-Release/dp/B004MKNJ6G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393731145&sr=8-1&keywords=MANFROTTO+Q2

Yes: remove the Q5 clamp and bolt the RC2 (Q2) clamp onto the ball stem with a M6 screw. Manfrotto uses locktite so use an extension on your hex tool to break the bond. I've done it several times and I'm not that strong. If you haven't bought this head yet, they sell a version with RC2/Q2 already installed (Manfrotto MH054M0-Q2 054).

I do not know. Have you asked Manfrotto? Possibly, B&H; could tell you.Good luck. I find it is a really great tripod head.

Yes, i purchased this for my Qualifier and it fits perfectly. Anything with the quick release system is interchangeable, i believe.

Yes . The quick release may get in the way of the ejection port (slightly) in certain applications.

Quick Releases are very manufacturer and tripod model specific, so there is very little chance that this will fit your tripod. Sorry. . .

This is my first Tripod ball head purchase. Upon close inspection and trial I found a 3/16" allen screw. I attempted to loosen but it was securly attached and I did not want to attempt using brut force our placing the head in a vice. I have found this ball head to be quite adequate for my purposes. I have mounted a Canon 7D plus a 70-300mm Canon lens with a tripod collar. I hope this is some help for you.

This model already has a Gitzo style ball head. If you want to add another type, here is a video on how to remove the ball head.

Not as far as I know, but you could just get this http://www.amazon.com/GoPro-ABQRT-001-Tripod-Mounts/dp/B00F19Q7AC/ instead which is compatible with the official GoPro quickrelease mount and connect it to any tripod.

Yes absolutely! I do recommend buying a ball head along with it like the one on this link: http://amzn.to/1zcLRlp which makes it easy to change the angle in certain shots!

No, it does not. The head I paired it with is: Vanguard SBH-250 Magnesium Ballhead with Sliding Quick Shoe. It's a perfect combination.

I hate to say this but if I had it to do over again I would not buy this ball head. it has to many knob and handles when there are a lot out there that are easier to use. I do find it works good its just keeping straight what does what with this one....It was highly recommended to me so somebody really likes it. Manfrotto makes some awesome ball heads.

My guess is you may possibly could use another swivel plate for a ball head. There already is a spring loaded dual threads on the top of the plate.Would depend on the type of ball head you have. I hope this may answer your question.

The slider doesn't come with a ball head. It does not flex but if you have it mounted on a tripod in the center, a heavy load can sometimes make it move some. Best solution is to support it on both sides or place on the floor or apple boxes ext.

Hi, I haven't been able to find it on Amazon, but B&H seems to have it (currently out of stock). Here's the link: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/740285-REG/Sunpak_620_749_Quick_Release_Platform_for.html

Yes, you can but you will have to buy the quick release plate if you want it to be easy taking off and put it back in. The kit doesn't come with the quick release kit. Hope this help.. Good luck

You could unscrew the ball head and replace it with a pan head, but I doubt that you will be able to fully close the assembly to the same compact form that you get with the ball head.The portability of this tripod/head is usually one of the main reasons people buy it. You could always mount and unmounts the head for transport.

Cannot be used with their traditional quick release plates. The quick release plates that are compatible with this are "Arca Swiss" type of plates. Believe they do have one type of plate that is compatible, but all of the plates I had in past that came with their various heads are not not.

The ball head can be replaced as it has a reversible stud bolt providing both 1/4" x 20 and 3/8" attachments. Just remove (unscrew) the existing head and then remove the remaining disk that locks the bolt in place. The existing Sirui head uses the 3/8" end of the bolt but you can flip it (the bolt) over for a 1/4" head. It can all be done without tools. A replacement head may be advisable as the supplied head locks Arca Swiss type plates by tightening a small diameter knob that may require pliers for removal. This is because the ribber grip will turn and slip when you use your hands. The ball head can be replaced as it has a reversible stud bolt providing both 1/4" x 20 and 3/8" attachments.
