Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the maximum height include having the center column raised all the way?

A: Yes, the maximum height of the fully extended legs is 50 with the center column at full-extension adding another 14 to get to the maximum 64 height. This is best as a travel or backpackers tripod for a mirrorless camera or DSLR with a compact zoom. I would classify it as light duty and perfect for micro 4/3 cameras like mine.

Q: 2. Can the quick release clamp be removed from the ball head and replaced with an Arca type clamp?

A: No, the quick release platform cannot be removed from the ball head. However, you can replace the head with Slik's Arca Swiss compatible ball head, the SH-180 DS.

Q: 3. I'm looking for metal spikes for 'SLIK Pro 700DXQ', not seeing this model in the compatibility list. Would they fit, and if not, and other spikes that would?

A: No, the spike feet are not compatible with the Slik Pro 700SXQ tripod. And there are no spike feet that are compatible.

Q: 4. Can be used with Sony FDR-AX43?

A: Yes you can use the Slik Sprint 150 Tripod for for your Sony camcorder but I would recommend getting The Magnus VPH-20 Video Pan & Tilt Fluid Head .BH #MAVPH20 • MFR #VPH-20. A Ball head is not a good choice for shooting video. The video head makes it easier to control and camera and get silky smooth panning for example.

A: no And you Don't Need it comes apart to go down to small size

Q: 6. hello; we are interested in the Slik 150, but want to use a larger ball head for a Sony A7s camera. Can the 150 ball head be removed and another installed?thank you, tom and marj green, los altos hills, CA

A: Yes, the standard ballhead can be unscrewed and another used. It takes a standard 1/4 -20 ballhead socket. Note that the tripod is rather light and might be topheavy with a bigger ballhead though. Just fine with standard head and mirrorless cameras with smaller lenses.

Q: 7. Will this column fit the Pro 5oo DX?

A: No Don't Need it !!!!!

Q: 8. do you have the rubber tips feet for this tripod 823cf?

Q: 9. can this be converted into monopod?

A: Unfortunately no, it cannot.

Q: 10. With a camera mounted and the ball head locked into a vertical position, will it REALLY hold the camera in position or is there a danger of failure or breaking the ball head?

A: Yes, this will hold a camera with a lens in the weight limited listed which is 4.5 LB. I would not go over 3 LB just to be careful.
