Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the diameter of the mount?

A: 50mm, just under 2 inches. Longer than most camera baseplates. Cork topped to help hold camera steadier

Q: 2. Is able to hold Manfrotto RC2 plate ?

A: As the RC2 is not Arca-compatible, it will not work with the FLM QLB-80 Quick Release Clamp.

Q: 3. Would the peak design base plate on my camera fit this clamp?

A: The FLM 55GX Centerball Tripod Head with SRB-60 QR Clamp takes Arca-Type compatible plates. So yes, a Peak Design Quick Release plate such as the Peak Design PL-S-3 Standard Plate will work.

Q: 4. The FLM CB-18 18mm Ballhead is rated to support 13.2 lbs. Has anyone used it with a full-frame DSLR?

A: Yes, I have used it with Nikon D4 and 24-70mm f2.8 lens, 70-200mm f4 and holds very good.

Q: 5. Please provide general specs about this tripod?

Q: 6. What is the base diameter of this ball head?

A: We measured the FLM CB-18E at 30.5mm / 1.201".

Q: 7. Can the locking pin be removed?

A: The locking pin on the FLM QLB-80 Quick Release Clamp cannot be removed. However, if you squeeze the pin between a pair of pliers and push it down into the body of the clamp, the locking pin will be ineffective and out of the way.

Q: 8. What is the spacing of the bottom mount holes in millimeters? Curious if this can be direct-mounted to Arri plates.

A: The FLM QLB-80 quick release clamp has each of the mounting points spaced 12mm apart.

A: The height of the FLM CB-18E Center ball Head is 1.9 inches.

Q: 10. What is the diameter of the ball?

A: The ball sphere diameter of the FLM 55GX Centerball Tripod Head is 2.2" or 55 mm.

[Yes] Although expensive, this ball had offers at degree of precision and consistency that lower price ball heads cannot achieve and some of the most famous names are also deficient at. My only an admittedly minor complain is that the controls are a bit close to each other at times. Perhaps this would not be a problem with their larger sized ball head. 5

[1.83 lb] I wanted a small, light weight tripod to take on walks in order to take close-up photos of flowers and bugs. The FLM CP-10 with a ballhead attached allows me to take these photos and the tripod and ballhead are so light that I don't even notice the weight in my pack. 5

[15°] Owned several tripod heads over the years and after a flight, found out the RRS 55 is just too big of a footprint to haul around, and heavy. This is way smaller and less than 1/2 the weight. Work great so far. There was a little pin that you can take out if it doesn't work with your arca-swiss plates. 5

[1.83 lb] Small, strong (Supports 13 lb) and have a great looking button. 5

Alan	12/09/2024
[1.83 lb] This is a premium quality small tripod that is perfect for macro photography. That is what is use it for primarily, but because of its light weight and small footprint when folded up, it would be handy to put in a backpack if you didn't want to bring along a full sized one. It is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. 5

[Ball Head] The fit-and-finish is top-notch. Strong yet light with legs that are independently adjustable for any surface. Matches well with a Really Right Stuff BH-25 LR ball head or any iPhone grip clamp. The legs are even better than the Really Right Stuff TFA-01, although not as compact. I take this and the TFA-01 on all photo trips. 5

Timothy	28/08/2024
[Yes] Lite, stable for what it is, versatile. Would buy again. 5

Jeremy	21/07/2024
[15°] I paired this tripod with a light-weight Joby ball head that I had around and took it backpacking. While light-weight enough to lug over some pretty steep mountain passes, the setup held an EOS 60D body + 70-300 mm f/5.6 lens at full extension with no problem. The individually adjustable legs make it easy to obtain a stable configuration on an uneven surface such as a rock. 5

Ilya	15/07/2024
[Yes] An amazing solution for fixing legs. And although I don't like the heads of the FLM (well ... that’s my opinion)), this tripod is brilliant. It's just nice to use such a cleverly made thing. 5
