User questions & answers

Question:	Is this Arco Swiss compatible
Answer:	The Denon AVR X4300H is the same form factor and a replacement for the 3313ci and the X4000. I have both the 3313ci and also the X4000. This fits like a glove exactly on top with no overhang. It is also totally silent, I have it in smart mode. Where before I was measuring 103F watching a 5.1 movie, I have it set to 82 degrees and it'd been keeping the receiver within 2 degrees of that set point. One great way to extend the life of expensive electronics.
Question:	What is the capacity/load for this
Answer:	Hi Aah924!Thank you for your inquiry.This may potentially be the option that you are needing, but depending on how your cabinet is configured, that would be the determining indicator on which unit would be more useful for your application.The AIRCOM T9 is primarily used in applications where the top would have openings to allow warm air to be exhausted. Quite a bit of modern cabinets tend to be designed around this design.The AIRCOM T8 is primarily used in applications where the rear of the enclosure would be exposed. This allows the air to be immediately re-directed out of that specified range. We refer to this as the "book shelf" styled layouts (due to it resembling the library book shelves).We greatly appreciate your interest and consideration in regards to our cooling products!Warm Regards,Tommy KaragiasAC Infinity
Question:	Is this 501 PL compatible
Answer:	Hi Tony! Thank you for taking the time to reach out to me with your question! The AIRCOM T9 does not come with "rack ears". These are however readily available through Amazon and other websites. I have included a link to the Amazon page specializing in these products (see below). https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Rack-Mounting-Ears-Screws/dp/B01JWJYY24 Thank you and have a wonderful day! Andrew Avila AC Infinity
Question:	Is this Arco Swiss compatible
Answer:	From my research all you need is a 1/2" of clearance from the top. It work's superbly and love it. Keeps my flagship reciever 20-30 degrees cooler. Hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	it comes with a bag or case
Answer:	Keep in mind if you get the one with the pan head that it is very hard to fit it into the case. I usually have to remove the handles to get it in.
Question:	Can this tripod get really low to the ground/spread out on the ground without extending the arm out
Answer:	The Legs DO fold out further, so that you can get lower to the ground. If you want to get lower, what you can do is slide up the middle piece all the way up, it comes out. Then you can flip it upside down so that the camera is now between the 3 legs. Sure your photo will be upside down, but that's what the rotate function is for in your photo editor.
Question:	Its so confusing,whats the difference with the 263 tripod kits and tripod, does that mean for 169$ you only get the tripod head
Answer:	The trick is to look at the last (second) letter in the model number. If it ends with "T" then it's just the tripod legs. "B" stands for ball head, so if the name ends in "B" you get the tripod legs and the a ball head. "P" stands for pistol-grip head. The first letter stands for the name of the material: "A" for aluminum, "C" for carbon fiber. So if the model number is 263AB, it means that it's the aluminum tripod legs plus a ball head.
Question:	Is there any difference between the 263AB and 264AB? I'm not really seeing any difference
Answer:	Vanguard Alta Pro 263AB is both taller and larger than the 264AB. Both are virtually identical in weight, and have identical 7.0kg load capacities.I own both, the 263AB is a full-size (height-wise) tripod, while the 264AB is subtly more compact, which is noticeable when you set them up side-by-side. If you are of average height you may find you do not need to extend the center column with the 263AB very often, while you will probably need to extend the center column on the shorter 264AB most of the time. This technically affects stability, but the ~4" of extension is generally not significant for casual use. A big difference for me is that the 264AB will fit inside almost all airline carry-on bags I use (with the ball head removed), whereas the 264AB usually does not fit (at least in bags that are regulation size...).* 3-segment legs vs. 4-segment legs* 1730mm (68.125") extended height vs. 1625mm (64") extended height* 1425mm (56.125") minimum extended height vs. 1390mm (54.75") minimum extended height* 715mm (28.125") folded height vs. 625mm (24.625") folded heighthttp://www.vanguardworld.com/index.php/pv/products/detail-1-4-225-623.htmlhttp://www.vanguardworld.com/index.php/en/pv/products/detail-1-4-225-622.html

Product description

Take the versatility of a ball head, add true ergonomic control and you get the 322RC2 Horizontal Grip Action Ballhead! The 322RC2 is unique in that it allows you to unblock, move, position and lock your camera with one hand in one position. This is due to the revolutionary design of its grip handle which incorporates the ball lock lever.A friction control wheel lets you regulate the power of the blocking mechanism to match the weight of your camera and lens. The 322RC2 is made from magnesium for lightweight performance, and is designed to keep the weight of your equipment as close as possible to the tripod's center of gravity by way of its reduced height. It is this fact, matched with the precision construction of the 322RC2 that gives the head its load capacity of 11 pounds (5.5 pound capacity when in the vertical position).

From the Manufacturer

Take the versatility of a ball head, add true ergonomic control and you get the 322RC2 Horizontal Grip Action Ballhead! The 322RC2 is unique in that it allows you to unblock, move, position and lock your camera with one hand in one position. This is due to the revolutionary design of its grip handle which incorporates the ball lock lever.

A friction control wheel lets you regulate the power of the blocking mechanism to match the weight of your camera and lens. The 322RC2 is made from magnesium for lightweight performance, and is designed to keep the weight of your equipment as close as possible to the tripod's center of gravity by way of its reduced height. It is this fact, matched with the precision construction of the 322RC2 that gives the head its load capacity of 11 pounds (5.5 pound capacity when in the vertical position).

The 322RC2 comes complete with a built-in bubble spirit level and quick release camera plate (standard 1/4-20-inch screw, with secondary safety pin). The 322RC2 is suitable for use with 35mm or medium format cameras. In addition, you can also mount the 322RS shutter release accessory. The 322RS is a world's first. With its remote control electronic camera shutter release, the 322RC2 becomes the only photographic head available today that can put camera control within reach without having to move your hand from the head grip to the camera body.

Features include:

• Sturdy all-metal construction.
• The compact, rectangular 200PL quick release plate system fits neatly under small-bodied still cameras up to SLR (even with tele lenses) or small medium format, or under small video cameras or spotting scopes. Its rubber pad gives a good grip without damaging the camera, and its angled sides ensure that it also fits perfectly and tightly into a wide range of Manfrotto heads.
• This head features a secondary security lock so you can't accidentally release the plate (and camera) without meaning to. The lock stops the quick release lever from opening fully.
• A convenient single locking mechanism blocks or frees movement on all axes for greater speed of use.
• Separate control for pre-setting the friction of the ball when unblocked. The position of the red line indicates the approximate amount of friction applied.
• By keeping the head and camera mounting plate as low as possible, the camera is kept safely closer to the tripod's center of gravity for more stable support.
• Thanks to the repositionable camera plate, this can be used right- or left-handed. Photographers are normally forced to be right-handed by the position of the shutter release button, but the advantage of this system even to right-handed users is that you can keep one hand on the grip to control framing position and switch rapidly between portrait and landscape settings, while the other hand stays on the camera, ready to shoot even with the head in movement. Keeping both hands positioned like this gives you greater control over panning or tracking shots.
• Designed for use with the 322RS electronic or 322RSM manual shutter release cables and mounts; the first accessories to let you control head positioning and shutter release at the same time, with the same hand, without needing to let go of the head grip.
• The built-in, carefully hand-set bubble spirit level helps make sure your horizons really are horizontal.

What's in the Box:

Ball head, quick release plate.

• PRACTICE: With one hand you can unlock, move, position and lock the camera again, thanks to the ergonomic handle that controls the friction
• LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMPACT: Thanks to the magnesium body this tripod head is easy to carry
• SAFE: The locking mechanism is controlled by the lever-operated friction, allowing you to counterbalance the weight of the camera
• STRONG: The magnesium body makes this head particularly strong, with a capacity to hold up to 5 kg. It is suitable for 35mm and medium format digital cameras
• COMPATIBLE: The Grip Action ball head gives you the possibility to also mount a Manfrotto Remote Control

User questions & answers

Question:	How is this grip attached to the tripod
Answer:	This unit is intended for a higher-end tripod that doesn't include a head, or if it does, is a removable with standard screw on top - see item description below: See Manfrotto specs here: https://www.manfrotto.com.br/heavy-duty-grip-ball-head.html or in item description on Amazon: The 322RC2 comes complete with a built-in bubble spirit level and quick release camera plate (standard 1/4-20-inch screw, with secondary safety pin). The 322RC2 is suitable for use with 35mm or medium format cameras. In addition, you can also mount the 322RS shutter release accessory. The 322RS is a world's first. With its remote control electronic camera shutter release, the 322RC2 becomes the only photographic head available today that can put camera control within reach without having to move your hand from the head grip to the camera body.
Question:	Is the quick releaese Arca swiss compatible
Answer:	No, it uses a clamp and plate that is proprietary to Manfrotto. I have attached a low-profile clamp from RRS that is ARCA-compatible to the Manfrotto plate, and that works for me. Peak Design also makes a plate that can be set up to work both with this Manfrotto clamp and an ARCA clamp (such as their capture clamp). Each plate orientation would be at 90˚ to the other, so that would be a consideration.
Question:	will this head handle a Nikorr 70-200 zoom lens? Lens weighs 3.4 lbs. and this head is rated for more, but, the "light duty" part worries me
Answer:	Easily works with my 70-200 lens, however, I mount the camera and lens from the rotating ring on the lens (not camera body) so that the weight is distributed equally across the mounting plate.
Question:	Does anyone have the peak design capture (sling or clutch) working on this head? i know the rc2 is hit or miss when connecting to it
Answer:	I have tried it, and it 'works', that is to say it is possible to use the bolt supplied with the Manfrotto QR plate to attach the PD clamp on top, but I personally found it to be less than useful. The capture system works very well as designed for belts or straps, but I found it to be fiddly on a monopod or ball head. The QR clamp I find most useful on this head is a UniqBall UCX X-Cross Clamp. It can indeed be used with PD plates, but there's a trick: instead of placing the plate in the middle of all 4 claws, slide it half-way between 2. ;)As always, YMMV.
Question:	Does it work with a manfrotto mt190xpro3 tripod
Answer:	My friend unfortunately i can not answer this question because I have zomei tripod not Manfrotto tripod, you can check the properties for the tripod and fluid head, and according to the results you may know.. Any other questions you are very welcome
Question:	Will this work with the 200pl-pro plate
Answer:	200PL-PRO will not work on MVH400AHUS . They are not compatible.
Question:	What other types of plates will work with this head, I do not care for the sliding video plate it came with
Answer:	I'm sure that you can check the Manfrotto website and see what other connection plates can be used with this, but be aware that the plate that it's designed to be used with, it the best all around, for the designed purpose.
Question:	Will this work on the manfrotto befree model number mkbfra-bh? some are claiming this head is not fitting their tripod
Answer:	I am in the same predicament, I have the oldest model of the Manfrotto Befree MKBFRA-BH but want the video capable version now. So I either I get his if it's compatible with the Befree MKBFRA-BH or get a new one entirely.

User questions & answers

Question:	This does not appear to be a true "Ball Head." It appears that you have to swivel the apparatus around in order to achieve complete coverage
Answer:	Yes, this DAC can
Question:	Can you change the ball head on this
Answer:	Hi, it's also a standard line/auxiliary out. Thank you.
Question:	What is the smallest it can be folded to fit into a backpack
Answer:	I use this to switch between my Rotel Power amp (130 Watt RMS X 2) and a Vintage JVC Quadraphonic Receiver. (100 X 2 or 43 X 4) to switch the same set of front speakers for both. In the 6 months having done this, the sound is right on and no difference in quality. I do think the 100 watt rating is conservative, since I have no problems with 130 watt RMS on the one amp. I am very happy with this unit.
Question:	What is the difference between the 60" and 62" that the 60" is more costly
Answer:	No. Your preamp connects to your amp with RCA cables (or XLR) and this unit switches using the speaker wire outputs off of an amp.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the quick release plate compatible with arca swiss plates? will it mount directly to my small rig canon m50 cage
Answer:	The clamp is compatible with some, but not all, Arca Swiss plates. No fault of SmallRig, but various manufacturer plates are not machined to the same tolerances. To their credit, the SmallRig seems to be best-of-class. For instance, the clamp will secure both Really Right Stuff and Kessler Kwik Plates, both superb products. I also like Joby brand X-ball, which claims to be Arca Swiss compatible, but Joby plates cannot be secured in the SmallRig clamp, though I believe the Joby clamp on X-ball will secure the SmallRig plate included on this tripod. FWIW - lever-action clamps seem to require a lot more precision than screw-lock clamps like this one. So a Really Right Stuff Arca Swiss screw lock clamp may secure a Joby plate, but a Really Right Stuff lever-lock clamp will not work with the same plate. I'm a big fan of Really Right Stuff purpose-built Arca Swiss camera plates, which are specific to each model of camera. I buy one for every camera I purchase and never remove it since they form fit the camera body, do not twist or loosen, and do not protrude or snag inside the camera bag. This little SmallRig tripod works great with Really Right Stuff Arca Swiss Plates, and by extension, also Kessler which is always designed and built to a high standard. Other makes of plates, your milage may vary because with Arca Swiss, tiny tolerances seem to make all the difference, and what should work does not always clamp securely.
Question:	which is the maximum load
Answer:	Hello, Thanks for your question to the SmallRig Mini Tripod with 360 Degree Ball Head and QR Plate. The maximum load is 5KG / 11lb (more than 10kg when Ball Head exclued） Hope my answer would help. SmallRig Sales Team
Question:	Is the tabletop tripod compatible with a gopro hero 5 black
Answer:	As long as your GoPro has a tripod adapter it will work .The tripod uses standard 1/4-20 thread, so the camera should just screw right on.
Question:	How many positions can you adjust the legs to
Answer:	They don’t lock at all so essentially you have all the way open or closed and even if all the way open - it still isn’t locked. If you have an especially sticky surface that can grip the feet maybe you can open it less but it’s not like a large tripod with multiple locking positions - there is no legs out / flat option. They stop at about 30° (ever so slightly more open than the picture). Hope that helps. The non locking legs was a big issue for me and is my only really complaint about this tripod.

User questions & answers

Question:	does the AM-223 version comes with the center column
Answer:	It does not.
Question:	Arca-swiss/ RRS compatible
Answer:	Yes. The head is Arca Swiss compatible. For light and moderate weights it works fine. For a DSLR with a big lens, it can work but that is pushing the limit of the head. I actually replaced the head immediately given my usual use cases. I wish they sold just the legs. I actually replaced the head with a more heavy duty head with a RRS quick release clamp to handle heavier loads. The legs are great. Rock solid. With the heavier duty head and an RRS clamp plate, this has become my favorite ‘always have a travel Tripod’ as I generally have in my bag at all times.
Question:	Can the feet be replaced
Answer:	Yes. Replacement spike feet come with tripod.
Question:	Can the am-254 hold a canon 70-200 2.8 steady enough for 30sec exposures? please only answer if you have experience trying this. thanks
Answer:	I have the am-284 (rated very similar to the am-254) and it held my Pentax K1, lens, and filter kit for upwards of 80 secs in moving water. I’d say you’d be safe as long as you aren’t in extreme conditions. The head also plays a huge role in stability.
