Q: 1. Can I replace the head with a ball head, e.g. Gitzo?

Q: 2. how do i remove the ball head?

A: The Fusion 3-Section Tripod with 3-Way Fluid Head has an integrated head, so it will not be removable.

Q: 3. I use my tripod mostly for video. I'm looking to buy another because mine (a cheap one bought at that store that start with a 'W'... and ends in a 'T') pans so poorly. Does this one pan smoothly? Up and down. Side to side. And it looks like it has a crank handle that makes the head move up or down as the handle is crank. Is this correct? Thank you!

A: This tripod does a decent job panning and tilting, especially if you are on a tight budget. It works the best with small to medium sized camcorders (i.e. a Canon XA20). I've used these tripods for filming interview videos and conferences. It definitely does a better job than any cheaper tripods without fluid heads!

Q: 4. is the 28.4 inch folded height with the pan tilt head attached? And can the pan tilt head be detached? I've got a bag I use for carry ons that is a couple inches shorter.

A: The Manfrotto MK190XPRO3-3W Aluminum Tripod with 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head has a folded length of 28.4" with the head attached. One can detach the head. Without the head this has a folded length of 23.2".

Q: 5. Hi-Does this kit include quick release plate that attaches to camera base or must that be purchased separately.Please let me know. Thanks!

A: The Manfrotto MK190XPRO4-3W comes with an included 200PL Quick Release Plate.

Q: 6. Hello! I am wondering how well would this head (as compared to a fluid video head) would work for occasional video taking of surfers? Quick moving subject under a lot of light. Thanks

A: If you're using a regular pan tilt head for video instead of a fluid head, then the smoothness of the footage will depend entirely on how well you can move the arms on your own. Starts/stops will be jerky. It probably won't be the best footage possible but it will do the job in a pinch.

Q: 7. I intent to use a Canon HF G20 and leave it in a fixed position to record billiard/pool stuff. Is there any reason the head will not be suitable. Or should I get a different cheaper Head?

A: I've been very satisfied with this unit. Absolutely no issues with stability. My equipment is Nikon, good luck!

Q: 8. Anyone who has this tripod and head (MK190XPRO3-3W), can you recommend a decent quality tripod carry case (preferably a padded one) that this will fit into? It would need to be at least 6 deep, 6 wide and at least 29 long. There is one Manfrotto tripod bag (MBAG 75PN) that people say is a bit too small for this tripod; and the other Manfrotto bags are way too expensive for my budget. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

A: I would recommend the Ruggard Deluxe Padded 35 Tripod case.It has two internal straps to hold the tripod from moving.Also, if you plan on using a heaver camera or lens with this Tripod, please look into getting the Manfrotto 200PLARCH-14 Architectural Anti-Twist Quick Release Plate with 1/4-20 Screw to eliminate Camera Creep/Slipage when using the Tripod in Vertical/Portrate mode.

Q: 9. Does it come woth a bag ? And is it 8.8lb capacity or 11 lb capacity ? Specs say 11...overview says 8.8. And does the weight of unit listed include the pan and tilt head ? And can you get spikes for the feet ?

A: The legs are able to support 11 pounds but the head is only able to support 8.8 pounds. Therefore the true load capacity would be the lower number. The weight for the head plus the legs would be 5.55 pounds. It does not come with a bag. Here is the recommended bag: https://bhpho.to/2umZ8Oa

Q: 10. Can this tripod hold a weighted sandbag?

A: No. This is a 3 leg tripod with no middle bracket to hold a sand bag.
