Forgive me if a dumb question! But is this fully compatible with the Manfrotto 680B Monopod?

Yes - the 494RC2 will accept a 3/8"-16 threaded stud. You can also get a 1/4-20 to 3/8-16 adapter if you only have 1/4"-16 threads on your monopod or tripod. I use mine with Nikon D7000 and lens up to 200mm and it is an excellent ball head, small, light and compact.

I own the 680B myself Joe and the answer is no, I just checked it and the opening on the 494RC2 is to wide for the monopod, monopod has a narrower screw on it.Michael

Here is the description from the Amazon site. Metal 1/4" to 3/8" Convert Screw Adapter for Tripod Monopod Ballhead.

It may be that the 480B might have a dual screw. It would be a 3/8 sliding out side and a 1/4 inside. My Manffroto does not have this so the adapter is needed. The same is true of my tripod. So it would be a good idea to have some adapters in your bag.

It should. I have the Manfrotto 685B and it works fine with that. According to Manfrotto's website, both monopods use the same screw attachment: "1/4" and retractable 3/8" screw attachment type". I also use it with the Manfrotto Super Clamp, it works great for clamping a camera to a railing or attaching a second camera to a tripod leg.

All you need is a simple adapter that screws into the larger, female on the 494RC2. That is what I use for my monopod. You need a 1/4 to 3/8.

It worked fine on my Manfrotto Tripod and the screw-on fitting should be the same size (quarter inch?)

Yes it will work fine, although it was really designed for a monopod. This only tilts on a single axis and won't rotate, but if that is what you want to put onto your tripod it will work.

Yes! It fits perfectly. I have the 680B and use it all the time with the 678. This purchase was worth it because now I don't always have to carry around my tripod.

i use it on a manfotto tripod so I imagine it will be fine on one of their monopods

This will work with both tripod and monopod, I have both and it mounts well, and works well with both.

Hi, Our mount is compatible with the entire selection of the tripod that Amazon offers. Here is the link to the tripods

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. However, perhaps this will help. I have the ball head with quick release mounted on a Manfrotto monopod. The ball head works nicely on the Manfrotto, and the quick release is easy to use. The connection to the Manfrotto required an adapter, which I easily found at a local camera store.

That will depend on your camera, not on this "monopod" kinda thing. If your camera has a standard female screw on the bottom it will work.

Yes. The plate for the monopod is a bit longer than the normal plates.tt doesn't matter though because they all fit each other.

It won't even remotely work on a monopod - it's meant for a ball socket. You can remove the mounting brace. and maybe even screw in a monopod if the thread is compatible - but you'd definitely buying the wrong head if you intend to use it on a monopod. It's also meant for much larger cameras then you'd ever want to put on a monopod.This would probably be a much better choice: Manfrotto 128RC Micro Fluid Head with 200PL 14 RC2 Rapid Connector Plate

I would think it would work just fine. When you look at the product description of this unit (Manfrotto 678 Monopod Universal Folding Base (Black)) it says the following: This unique accessory allows you to add a base made of three foldable high strength steel legs to the Monopods 679, 680, 681. Since the 679b is just an update to 679, I would think it would work on the newer model. I'm using it on a 680b (not listed in the description) and that is just the update to the 680 (which is listed in the description).

The screw-head on my Manfrotto 676B is camera sized, but the hole in the head ;-) is much larger. Where would I get an adapter? Is it for the head or the monopod?
146241
Yes it will fit the Manfrotto 496RC2 tripod head. In fact that is what I use it on. It fits perfectly, no movement for me. I just keep it on the camera and use it constantly. Well built and worth the price.

I can't answer that, but I use mine on a monopod and it's great for that because of it's relatively small size

I am no not familiar with your camera. I use it for a Sony HD Camera. I can tell you this Monopod is not flimsy, you can actually use this as a walking stick it is that sturdy. I would bet if your camera was as heavy as a Bowling Ball You would still be OK.

I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing. The Manfrotto 678 Monopod Universal Folding Base (Black) you are asking about attaches to the bottom of a monopod to make it stand on its own. The Model 484 RC2 is a head attachment that fits on the top of the monopod. The monopod I have this base unit on is the Manfrotto 680B Monopod 4-SCTN Replaces 680 (Black). These two items in question fit on opposite end of an actual monopod and do not work together - you can't attach the camera head piece to the base piece. Now if you are asking if the head piece you have (Model 484 RC2) will fit the monopod that this base unit will fit, I would say yes as I think the threading would be the same for any Manfrotto head unit but I don't know for sure as I have a different one of those also. That is all I can tell you. If you would want to ask a different questions based on what I have told you then let me know.
