Q: 1. I screwed the head on my tripod..how do I prevent it from unscrewing or swiveling at the base and becoming unscrewed over use?

A: There has been nothing implemented to prevent the following head from un screwing off the center column but applying enough tension when mounting the system.

Q: 2. Will this pistol grip fit on an Induro AKB0 tripod? The tripod has a smaller attachment than the Manfrotto tripods, so I'm thinking they may not go together.

A: I started serious photography in 1995, back then you had to be resourceful, I'd say go to a hardware store that cuts, threads steel pipes. This type of hardware store will have on hand very small inserts that may act as go-betweens to allow a self modification from 1/4 to your specific need. I hope that I helped you on this endeavor, photography can be like cutting, threading steel pipes, your not sure what your doing, but you're pretty sure your going to like it...

Q: 3. Im new to tripods. Can I assume this fits on all Manfrotto legs?

A: This will attach to any tripod with a 3/8 male threaded attachment.

Q: 4. Hi, I will use it with my GH5 to shoot videos but only in my hard trips (traveling). In your opinion is it good for video or do I have to look for another head? I need a very light head. THANKS

A: It is a fantastic head and one I have used for many years, starting with earlier designs, BUT it is not the best for video work. I would suggest a more dedicated video head that offers better panning.

Q: 5. Can support Peak Design Arca-Style plate?

A: No it will not. You would need the Peak Design PROplate.

Q: 6. I plan to use this head with my Sigma 150-600mm Sport lens: Does it attach and release easily? Is it stable or is the XPRO with quick release and QR plate a better option for this heavier lens?

A: The Manfrotto MHXPRO-BHQ6 XPRO is in my opinion the best one out of those. It has an Arca-Swiss style plate and those seem to be more secure with a heavy lens.And with an Arca-Style plate you can get other plates. And when you use that head with the 150-600 lens it would be better to use a longer plate like this one Wimberley P50 Quick Release Plate B&H # WIQRPP50 MFR # P-50.

Q: 7. What is the size of the silver pin on the end of the spring arm?

Q: 8. How do I set this head so my camera lens will point upward toward the sky?

A: If you want to point your camera directly skywards, you may have to rotate your camera's placement on the quick release plate by 90°.

Q: 9. What is the main difference between this and the Manfrotto 327RC2 Ball Head? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/680140-REG/Manfrotto_327RC2_327RC2_Joystick_Head.html/qa

A: The 322RC2 is an older model with friction control for the ball sphere. The 327RC2 is newer and lacks the friction control.

Q: 10. I'll be using the head to mount binoculars for astronomy. Is it possible to point the head vertically, so that I can look directly upwards?

A: I don't think you can. I do not like this design. I liked the old style of pistol grip. With this style you have to use your right hand to move the grip, which is the same hand you use to trip the shutter button. The old style of pistol grip, you could use with either hand. There is no way to flip the grip on the horizontal style.
