Where is the handle to pan with? This says "video" tripod. Mine did not come with one.

The Ravelli Professional 65 inch tripod comes with a head that is designed to mount either a photo, video camera or remote flash to the head with the provided quick release, and hold the device securely. The head that comes with this tripod does not have a handle, nor was it designed to have a handle. There are good aftermarket handles that you can purchase that will securely mount to your video camera, which then allow you to mount the quick release plate to the bottom of the handle, which will then provide you with a quick way to attach the camera to the tripod. You can then mount a still camera to the quick release plate and not have a handle that gets in the way. I personally find that built in handles on tripods just get in the way, thought they do come on many metal tripods. Hope this helps.

There is no pan handle on mine either...must not have one...I seldom do video panning so do not miss it...great tripod anyway.

that's not the model (the one with the blue accents) that shipped to me. as a matter of fact the picture looks completely different from the one that I bought. you might want to check with the seller to make sure what you would receive. the one that I bought back in May was for cameras, it has a ball head but without the pan handle. it looks more like the carbon fiber version of this that they sell. this tripod that's pictured is either a new product or a updated version of mine. hope this helps.

Mine came without the mini tripod. This was not listed on Amazon's site at the time it was purchased, only on the box it arrived in, so it was not something I was expecting. It also had no manual, so I downloaded the .pdf from their support page: http://ravelliphoto.com/support.htmlThe manual is not very complete as it doesn't explain how to use the inverted mode or how to use the push button leg locks to splay the legs out out wider. You can see videos of how this is done on youtube.

Sure! Fasten the pan lock screw, then hold either the tilt or pan handle and turn anticlockwisely to remove the head. This is described in the instruction that comes with the tripod, and I have tried that.

No I had to build a system to attach it to my tripod. Not to difficult, there is a half inch hole in the bottom of the handle that will let you build one.

It does not, but the purpose of a tripod is to have minimal contact with the camera; the handle would still transmit some shake. Most camera's today have an anti-shake function that would help when you do need to rotate (I usually use the telescoping stem itself to rotate and not touch the camera). If you are looking at doing sporting events that cover a large area, then you would want one with the extended handle. Otherwise do as I do, and just zoom out and record the entire scene.

Its a good pan and tilt head on a small tripod or monopod. I use it with a GH4 and 5D3 on a monopod and the quick release plate is very useful for gorilla style shoots.

I'm not positive because I don't own one to know how a standard tripod attaches;however, it does have a screw attachment for a tripod and I have attached a mini tripod to it. Bare in mind though the screw attachment is only useable in the vertical not horizontal position. So no wide videos using the tripod.

YesThe bottom of the handle has a thread that you can mount it on a standard tripod.

Botom connect with a normal plate to a tripod.if you wish to tilt or pan you definitely need an articulation of some sort so the answer is yes.

My didn't come with the tripod. The one that I got is different from the picture. The front it the same but the back is different.

There is a place at the bottom to mount a tripod plate to. I mounted it to my manfrotto 501head. It doesn't come with one. You will need the plate from your tripod. Hopefully that helps.

I bought this. You will have to buy the tripod separately. The same I company sells a perfect tripod type support for this. It's more like a speaker stand. They are both great pieces of gear.

The tripods are supposed to come with 1/4 screw on top but most don't. I've notified Amazon but they refuse to take action. Sorry man, send it back and complain allot. Maybe one day they will deal with this major issue.

It has tripod screw port on bottom. I just use an old video camera tripod I had laying around. Worked great. I have also use an in expensive camera tripod but found it was a little flimsy. It worked but if in a wind might tip.

There should be holes to screw the tripod mount on the bottom of the bracket... right next to the knob. Thats where I screwed mine in
