How do I detach my old fluid head from the provista 18 tripod, and add the new head?

... Sorry, you tighten THE panning bolt in THE Old head, then hold THE tripod to unscrew THE head, and finally screw THE NEW one.

It is a simple process, you just unscrew the old head (counter clockwise) and screw the new one back in.I went through the similar process, takes a few minutes, that's all.

You must tighten THE panning voltaje, then hold it tight and unscrew THE Old one. Afterwards you screw your FM18, and you are good to go.

Yes. Just hold the short central vertical section, and twist the ball head which screws out. You can then attach another head. Thread size of the screw same as that above for camera attachment.

It is even easier if you use a Manfrotto RC2 quick release system with the FR-T1 fastener. Replace the screw on the quick release plate with the FR-T1 and then all you need to do to switch to a tripod is unclip.

The tripod has a fairlly standard "quick disconnect" shoe that fits in the quick disconnect head on the tripod. The shoe has a 1/4-20 standard camera screw. So connect the shoe to the device you want to mount then just snap it into the tripod head....fast and easy. If you have multiple devices you can get multiple shoe (my discription/term) for not much and just flip one lever on the tripod and they change out very fast.

Unless they have changed the way this tripod is assembled, I would be careful buying it. The head, on the one I had, was GLUED on and not screwed on. After some time, it came loose and put my camera at risk of falling. I contacted the manufacturer and expressed my concern. I would check with the manufacturer to see whether they have corrected this problem.

I just checked my set up. The tripod I have is definitely the Dolica Proline Carbon. You are correct that when you remove the existing head on your tripod, the male bolt head is 3/8". The pistol grip has matching female threads to that size. Only the camcorder/camera to baseplate is done in 1/4" x 20 threads that I know of. Again, unless you have something weird going on, this should work for you. BTW, also, my tripod was bought at Costco at that ridiculous low price they had them for then, and subsequently I added this pistol grip.

Hello. Yes, the attached Slik SBH-100 ball head can be removed from the monopod itself, so any head with a 1/4"-20 mount can be substituted. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Have a great day!Deven MorganEvent Cameras

The head comes off, but It probably won't be easy to attach to a slider. This particular head has a bottom screw (the red twist thing underneath the head) that screws onto the head. The head actually as a large screw sticking out from the bottom and the twist part is the "nut", if you will. Your slider probably has the screw part already on it so as to attach to a 1/4 or 3/8 ball head, so if you try to move this tripod's head to the slider you'll basically have two screws pointing at each other, versus a screw and a nut. Hope this helps.

You can always get a tripod head if you don't already have one. Attach the head to the slider then your camera to the release plate of your tripod head. The screw on this slider is standard and should fit into your camera unless your screw may have some manufacturing defects.

That I am not sure.. but a good test would be to buy a cheap mic clip holder and see if that fits your tripod. without the head.

I received this today, and the head came off the tripod. I did not see any screws but it seemed that the head was superglued to the tripod. Is this how it should be?

You want to fix this steady mount to another tripod of monopod mount, and THEN attach a camera to the steady mount? I'm not sure that's feasible, or necessary, but I could just be misunderstanding your question.

The head is interchangeable with a new head without changing the base. Just make sure when you removed the old one, that you did not crack any of the plastic retention features on the base.

it is not possible to just remove the head and put it on a tripod because of the way it attaches to the monopod. It's essentially a giant screw on system that is removable and interchangable between manfrotto monopods.

You could unscrew the ball head and replace it with a pan head, but I doubt that you will be able to fully close the assembly to the same compact form that you get with the ball head.The portability of this tripod/head is usually one of the main reasons people buy it. You could always mount and unmounts the head for transport.

Sure. I use a Manfrotto 234RC Monopod Head Quick Release on mine. Works like a charm. Still cannot believe the great price on such quality.

As far as I can tell, ther should be no issues with attaching another brand of BallHead or other tripod head, as there are the typical 1/4-20 threads on top, which is standard for any tripod I've worked with. Hope this helps, good shooting!
