Q: 1. I want to attach this unit to a Giotto QU305 mini tripod. Do I need an adapter to attach? It seems both units are 1/4 . Or, am I wrong?. Please advise

A: You can attach the CB-18E Centerball Head to the Giotto QU305 mini tripod: they have the same thread size.

Q: 2. 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: 3. Does it Not come with a mounting head?

A: No. The ideal head for this tripod is either a CB-24E, or if you want a quick-release option as well, the CB-24FB/PRP-45 (item #12 24 903).

Q: 4. Is there a way to adjust the friction tension? If I were to release the tension to reposition what prevents moving?

A: The FLM 47GX Centerball Tripod Head with SRB-40 QR Clamp has a friction tension knob. You can adjust the friction tension by tightening or loosening the friction tension knob. If you open the friction tension knob all the way, the main ball adjustment knob will be the only knob that will prevent the head from moving.
