User questions & answers

Question:	Hello, I buy on of those from you few months ago, the pan bar its broken, how can I buy a new one pan bar? Thanks
Answer:	as long as the camera threaded for a tripod it will fit. As far as "support", it should easily be strong enough to hold about 792 of those cameras, rough estimate of course : )
Question:	Is there a Dolly which will work with this
Answer:	Very smooth. You won't regret it.
Question:	When I attached my dslr to the plate and mounted on the head, there's no room for the tightening mechanism to turn, it is loose,what should I do next
Answer:	Ball heads are designed for DSLR cameras. I use this with my T7i and have no problems at all even with heavy lenses. I really like the monopod feature as well. The pan tilt is more for video (they say) it really comes down to what you like using. Hope that helps.
Question:	Do the knobs that adjust the legs come loose after a lot of usage
Answer:	yes, it can be removed exposing a 1/4" male thread... you can rotate the head on this tripod clockwise continuously but going in an anticlockwise direction will start to make the head come off.

How to install a monopod?

You need to unscrew the leg tube with the words "detachable monopod",

then remove the hook, take out the monopod, and attach the leg tube to the monopod.



How to switch into macro photography (how to use the macro center column)?

For added versatility, the center column allows an attached camera to be

easily raised toward an elevated subject or over a scene, which is particularly useful for copy

stand or macro photography. For subjects along the ground, the center column can also be

used to obtain low angles while the tripod's user is positioned comfortably behind the camera.

User questions & answers

Question:	Se puede girar el cabezal para que la cámara este apuntando al suelo y así hacer una fotografía top view
Answer:	Si, se puede girar y hacer la foto. Es sencillo, sólo e requiere de un poco de creatividad.
Question:	Is this compatible with a sony a7r ii using an l bracket
Answer:	Yes. I use a very similar setup and it works great!
Question:	This works with a GoPro
Answer:	Yes.Workable
Question:	Do you like the way the legs extend with clicks holding them or would you rather have them screw loose and screw tight
Answer:	The legs click into position for angle of legs, as in how far apart they open, relative to one an other. there is a lever, that does not click, that opens for individual leg extention length. I love this feature. I am able to quickly extend the legs and retract and not have to trust that I have it screwed to tighten the legs. The screw type, has failed me numerous times. I like to see that it's closed so the legs do not retract when I stand the tripod back up.
Question:	How does this compare to the carbon fiber version
Answer:	Cheaper maybe a tad heavier
Question:	Several reviewers mentioned that you can't pan with one hand using a handle. But since it is a monopod, can I twist the whole tripod around to pan
Answer:	Yes you can
Question:	What is the length closed
Answer:	Approx. 26 1/2" from end to end.
Question:	Do I need to secure the camera with one hand all the time
Answer:	On flat or mostly even ground, you don't. If you want to do any kind of panning you will need to hold it.
