Is the ball-head Arca-Swiss compatible?
1835939
Yes. I liked the weight and size and really wanted the tripod to work but I returned the tripod after playing with it for 10 minutes. One of the smaller leg sections would not tighten and the Arca-Swiss plate would not firmly tighten to the ball. Even after I tightened the Hex Screw there was still movement.

Arca-swiss is another plate standard that is different from the Manfrotto standard. A Manfrotto plate will not work on this tripod head.

I don't think it will. The FR-T1 was meant to be used with Manfrotto RC2 Quick Release system. This is an Arca-Swiss system. There are workarounds, however. The ball head is replaceable, so if you already have a tripod head that works with those plates you can easily replace it.

The base of the Swivi IS an Arca-Swiss mount. It also has holes tapped in it for a sling strap or tripod screw. So yes. It will easily mount to a tripod or tripod head without any modification or extra parts required.

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.

Sure! Look for "Arca-swiss" compatible plates. There are lots of options out there.

The Pro version of the capture clip has a manfrotto option, but I don't know much about whether it's compatible with your setup or not (I'm an Arca guy). If you go to Peak Design's current kickstarter, they're upgrading the quick release so that you don't have to choose a dual-manfrotto/arca plate or a plain arca plate when you purchase the clip. It's got screw-on shims that change the angle of the bevels on the plate, depending on which setup you're going to use.

Yes and no! Though I have the 62" tripod, the ball head is the same. The Amazon plate is 39 mm wide and open at the narrow sides, ArcaSwiss plates have 40 mm and a closed frame. Maybe You need to adjust the clamp by turning the hidden screw in the knob counterclockwise; after that all 40 mm dovetail plates ca be layed in, and the safety pin does not disturb anymore.

NO, not at all. There's a weird part from cesur.de that claims to allow it, but it is the wrong size and will cause your rotor to be misaligned. I know this because I tried it. For a disk, you want the Alfine version of this hub, and if you need an ISO mount (6-bolt) instead of Shimano mount, then you need to get an adapter (I think it is a "problemsolver" from QBP)

Don't know. It works fine with my Dolica tripod. Should work with any arco-swiss type.

This clamp is made to the Arca-Swiss standard, so as long as your plate is made to the same standard, it should work just fine. I bought this as a cheap option for a seldom-used monopod, and it's worked with my Really Right Stuff gear with no problems.

No, it is not. There is a video on Youtube about the SBH-250 (it's worth watching!), which uses the same base plates, where the man says he returned the ballhead exactly for that reason, despite it being an excellent product. The plate used in this unit is larger than the Arca Swiss ones.

It isn't listed as compatible. I would recommend contacting the MTD Products company that makes that brand and asking them if it will work. The company's URL: http://www.mtdproducts.com/equipment/en/mtdproducts

Cotton Carrier makes an adapter for their system (this is a knock-off of that) that allows you to mount the hub to an arca swiss compatible tripod head. The adapter is about the same price as this entire system though. Well worth it though; I wouldn't be able to use my camera without it...way too inconvenient. I have the CC system though. Not sure if CC will work with this system, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't.

Yes. Be sure, though, to research the difference between the ARCA plate and the DUAL plate for your needs if you want to use a tripod.

The ball head comes with its own plate that is simliar to a ARCA plate. It is as noted earlier small. I have mounted a 70-400mm lens on it and provided one does not push it to extreme angles in appears to work ok. Obviouly this is not the most optimum approach but I wanted to find out out how far I could go for travel purposes.
