Q: 1. I ordered this screw (Sachtler - SKO12E0353 3/8 Screw for Tripod) and it does not fit the Sachtler FSB4 head because it is not long enough. I note from the reviews that others have had this problem. QUESTION: How can I obtain the correct longer screw ASAP?

A: The SKO12E0353 is the one that we have listed for this tripod and it's plate. I will alert our web department to make sure this correct. The length of these screws are pretty standardized among tripod manufacturers; they cannot be too long or they can damage gear. For your situation, if the non-threaded section is not long enough so it can fit the plate (as in the one compliant I found) you can try these three suggestions. If these do not work, please contact Sachtler directly at this link: http://bit.ly/1LMzkdC

Q: 2. What is the load capacity of the legs alone? In case I want to mount a slider with a camera.

A: Libec Extra Long Sliding Plate for LX10, RHP75, & RHP85 Tripod Heads B&H # LISPL Don't forget that the tripod comes with one.

Q: 6. What is a the diameter or circumference of the tripod legs when closed? Thanks!

A: The diameter of the tripod portion of the Sachtler System FSB 4 Fluid Head with Sideload Plate, Flowtech 75 Carbon Fiber Tripod with Mid-Level Spreader and Rubber Feet (B&H# SA0395) with the legs completely folded is about six inches (15.2cm). Please note, however, that as with most tripods, a cross section of the folded legs does not form a perfect circle. As a consequence, the diameter varies depending on where one measures it.

Q: 7. Can I attach my own video head to the tripod? or is it fused with FSB4 ?

Q: 9. hi what is the lowest tripod that can you recommend for a micro dolly..?thank you

A: I wouldn't use a tripod on a micro dolly. I would use a ball head or articulating arm. Search for Pico Dolly in B&H. They have an articulating arm that can be mounted on a mini video dolly. Also take a look at Kamerar online for more choices.
