Q: 1. Wondering how the mini would perform with a spotting scope?

A: This head would be fine when using it with a spotting scope and an appropriate plate.

Q: 2. Two questions about using this with the OM-1 camera coupled with Olympus 150-400mm f/ 4.5 lens: (1) is the mini sufficient to support the weight of this combo, or do I need the pro version; and (2) is the foot that comes with the lens long enough to balance or do I need to purchase on the separate foot to attach to the lens foot. Thank you.

A: The Flexshooter Mini Arca Ballhead is rated for 21 lbs, therefore it can hold the OM-1 and the Olympus 150-400mm f/4.5 Lens which totals up to 5.4 lbs. The foot at the bottom of the tripod collar is long enough to balance it properly on this head.

Q: 5. Just unpacked my new Flex shooter mini. No problem settiI have anng up my 100-400 sony lens. Can you please recommend camera plate that will work? I have an arca swiss plate that attaches to my camera, but it is too short to clamp down thoroughly. Won't secure my camera. I would appreciate specific recommendations. Sony a7r3. Thank you.

A: For the Sony 100-400 4.5-5.6 FE GM OSS I recommend this plate that fits it perfectly. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/205334-REG/Wimberley_P_20_P20_Quick_Release_Plate.html

Q: 6. What is the diameter of the plate where it attaches to the tripod?

Q: 7. Do you think this head is enough to work with the Sony Alpha a7R IV and 200-600 set or is it better to use the Pro head?

A: While the combined weight of the A7RIV and 200-600 lens are within the weight limit of the FlexShooter Mini, the torque applied when the lens is fully extended might overpower the ballhead's grip/friction force. I'd recommend the FlexShooter Pro for larger lenses, if only just to be safe. https://bhpho.to/3mBAOz8

Q: 8. For a 200-600 mm Lens what lens plate would you recommend for the FlexShooter?

A: To mount the Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS lens on the FlexShooter Mini Arca Ballhead get the Kirk Replacement Foot for Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS Lens. Here is the link: https://bhpho.to/3b7G0JX

Q: 9. Flexshooter mini or pro for Canon R5 with Canon RF 100-500. Also have Canon RF 800 F/11. I've read several articles online with differing views. Also, which Arca swiss plate should I buy for mini and which for pro?

A: Both the FlexShooter Mini Arca Ballhead and the FlexShooter Pro Ball head could support the Canon R5 with the Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM and the Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM lenses. That being said it is quicker and easier to balance large lenses on the Pro Head. Also the the torque applied when the lens is fully extended might overpower the ballhead's grip/friction force. So I would get the pro. The Acratech Quick Release Plate for Telephoto Lenses (4") is a good plate for both lenses. Here is the link:

Q: 10. Will this ball head work with the MeFoto Road Trip Tripod?

A: I can not confirm if it works with that tripod. What I can say is that it is a very good product.
