Q: 6. Any recommendations on what half bowl to purchase with these sticks?

A: We believe you are asking for a half ball tripod head. If so, it does of course matter what camera you are using and what type of video work you will be doing. Here are two on the affordable side of the tripod range. Manfrotto 504HD Fluid Video Head B&H # MA504HD and the Libec RH25D Fluid Head B&H # LIRH25D. The MA504HD is hugely popular while the Libec is simply no nonsense quality. On the heavier side, you can consider then Manfrotto 509HD Professional Video Head B&H # MA509HD for a nice match of head and tripod or the VariZoom VZFH100 Fluid Head (100mm) B&H # VAVZFH100 which has a very good review.

A: No not right out of the box. The 502 AH has a flat base and the 536 Carbon Tripod has a bowl mount @ either 100mm or 75mm with an adapter. So if you could adapt the 502 to a 100 or 75mm bowl base then you could theoretically use this tripod as long as there are no wierd obstructions or pieces oriented in incompatible places.

Q: 10. Is it possible to use this tripod with a photo head? I'd like to purchase this for both video and photo use. I would use the 504HD for video work, then swap it out for a photo head. Is there any way to adapt this tripod for a photo head? Thank you!

A: You certainly can use this tripod with a photo head. Since the 536 has a 75mm bowl on top, you will need an adapter. This will adapt from the bowl to a flat base with a 3/8 -16 screw for mounting the photo head. Manfrotto 520BALLSH 75mm Short Half-Ball B&H # MA520BSH.
