The Slik SH-747FC 3-Way Pan-Tilt Head with Friction Controlfrom Slik SH-747FC 3-Way Pan-Tilt Head with Friction Controlis a pan-tilt head for both still image and video content creators. It features Slik's new Dual-Stage Arca-type compatible quick release platform, which provides a choice between the traditional (side-to-side) quick release plate placement on still cameras and the common (front-to-back) quick release plate placement on video cameras. A simple release lever allows the dual-stage to rotate and lock in the preferred position. The independent pan and tilt Friction Control dials allows the "drag" or resistance against movement be fine-tuned when panning or tilting. This makes for smooth movements for video work or when using spotting scopes or binoculars

A 3-way pan head offers separate controls for tilt, pan, and horizon leveling, providing more precise adjustments on one axis while not affecting the other two axes, for more accurate framing of a subject. This type of control can be difficult to control with ball heads because all axis are released when the ball is loosened. A horizon leveling knob comes pre-installed on the head to help reduce the travel profile of the head, making it easier to pack or attach to a backpack, or other case. A regular handle is included for use if preferred.

Q: 3. Can the SH-705E head be removed & replaced with a ball head, etc.?

A: Yes you can remove the head from Slik Pro 400 DX Tripod with SH-705E 3-Way, Pan-and-Tilt Head and add a different one. The main thing to look for is a head that has a 1/4" screw opening in the bottom. Most are 3/8" and with those you will need this bushing adapter to fit it them. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/769749-REG/Oben_OB_1039_3_8_16_to_1_4_20_Reducer.html

Q: 4. Does is this pan head compatible with Slik Pro 400DX tripod?

A: I used it on a SLIK U112 tripod, long out of production. The key was the 1/4 fastener. It swapped right out. And what an improvement: lighter, more compact, and a less delicate shoe locking method. But the killer benefit is.......... the level!

Q: 6. It says this head fits on a Slik 800g. How does it mount? My tripod has no screw on top, just a bracket that tights on a pole with an indent.

A: Unfortunately, the 800G tripod is not designed for interchangeable heads, and the SH-707E will not work with these legs.
