Lynn, I think it will work fine. What time of equipment/weight are you putting on it? The tripod is compact, but i wouldn't use it to support a heavy camera and lens.

The tripod weights about 2.6lbs without the ball head and it can handle up to 5lbs. It should fit with ball head that you have. I bought this tripod for the Korea trip last October and it worked out really well. Since my camera is T1I with 18-200mm lens so the weight is not too heavy for the tripod. For travel, this tripod is good to bring along. Hope this help.

I replaced the head that came with the tripod with a Manfrotto head. You will have to order a 75mm ball mount for it. I ordered a Manfrotto 520BALL Half Ball Leveler with 3/8-Inch Screw for 75mm Bowl Tripods. I assume any 75mm bowl will work. Just unscrew the bottom (between the legs) of the head that came with it and it should pop right off.

The total length of the tripod and head cannot be > than 29" .If it is then it will not fit.I have the same base MT294A3 with the 804RC2 head,however the base and head on my unit are attached(one piece).

We have a Manfrotto and it worked fine. It fits by adjusting the angle and length of the tripod legs. The "feet" clamp into adjustable holders on the Glide Gear base. The short answer is "no." :)

I just got the head today so I haven't tested it yet. It looks like it will work with the heaviest camera and lens combinations. It appears the 3/8 screw bushing might be a weak spot as it's fastened to the base with some kind of cement. If it's screwed into the base and glued it should be OK. I can't tell if it's screwed into the base without taking it apart.

This should work on most standard Manfrotto heads. I have two heads and it works great. It is very sturdy.

The manufacturer lists this ball head as supporting about 4 lb (~2 Kg). You can figure out what your camera weighs.

The tripod is 48" to the mounting plate for the head with the center column fully retracted. I have an Acratech head on it so it is 52 inches high with the head installed. With the column fully extended, the height is 61 inches - this height includes the Acratech head. The load capacity is listed as 15 lbs. In practice, it holds anything I've needed it too. My heaviest set up would be a Canon 6D with a 400 mm f5.6 lens for example.

Maybe? My buddy has this scope and if I remember correctly the balance point is not the same as the tripod screw so he needs to use the friction nob on his non manfrotto head. I have this 128lp head and it has a slot so if you can get it to balance over the center it should work ok, otherwise it may take a lot of screw pressure to keep it stable.

I have the Manfrotto Mk 190 x3-2w kit which includes the MHX pro 2w fluid head. The bag is a little over 30" and fits my tripod with 2-way head. My set up is about 28". Hope this helps.

I am not sure about the weight of that camera model, but this is one of the sturdiest tripods I have ever seen! Hope this helps!

I've got a 5D2 and a 70-200 2.8 IS2 on top of a manfrotto fluid head and it slides smoothly end to end. I'm guessing about 5-8lbs at least.

The short answer, yes. The head is extremely strong and stable. The screw down knob allows for pretty heavy weight. I use it for my Canon 7D with multiple lens' and weights.

I don't have or know much about that tripod, so it might have issues with weight. But from a mechanical standpoint, you can mount this jib on the top of the fluid head and it will work. A much better method would be to add a Manfrotto 75mm bowl adapter and a panning head. Then you would remove the fluid head, and install the jib w/pan head. Of course, now we are getting into enough money that you should consider a better jib.

Hi, David. I measured mine, and confirmed my results were the same as the Manfrotto catalog data: - Height with fully extended center pole (with legs spread out to first click): 57.5 inches (without any head) - Height with center pole at minimum (with legs spread out at first click): 48 inches (without any head) - Weight: I couldn't weigh mine, but the catalog says 2.9 pounds. Keep in mind your head may be a relatively major weight addition - my 322RC2 "horizontal grip action ball head" is 1.5 pounds all by itself, and adds about 4 inches to the height. I hope this helps.

Yes, The ball head cann be replaced and the mount screw is 1/4" and 3/8th". I replaced mine to a manfrotto 482 (very small) head to make it even lighter. I have gone back to the original head for more strength. Love this tripod for travel!Herb Booth

It fit tripods and monopods with a 3/8" attachment screw, like the 190 series or 055 series tripods. Manfrotto's website has all of the specs listed for this head: http://www.manfrotto.com/mini-ball-head-with-rc2-rapid-connect-system
