The Billy 2.0 Carbon Fiber Tripod with AirHed Neo 2.0 Ball Head from 3 Legged Thing is part of the Punks series of tripods and has now been redesigned with added features for greater versatility. Starting with a robust 40 lb load capacity and an Arca-type AirHed Neo 2.0 ball head, the Billy 2.0 features three removable legs, which can be used as a monopod, as a boom, or a selfie stick when combined with separately available accessories. By adding separately available Vanz tripod feet, the Billy 2.0 can be converted into a tabletop tripod.

The Tri-Mount plate has been refined and offers three hollowed spurs for attaching accessories, and a 1/4"-20 threaded mount on the canopy allows an accessory arm or stud to be attached for mounting a monitor, microphone, LED light, or other accessory. Weighted, ergonomic twist-lock joints provide a lower center of gravity for improved stability. The lightweight carbon fiber legs feature independent leg spread and three locking angles, making it easy to level the tripod on uneven terrain. This versatile tripod was built to stand up to everyday use yet weighs only 3.46 lb and has reverse folding legs that give it a compact folded length of a 17.9", making it easy to store or carry along wherever it may be needed.

Q: 1. Can the center column be removed and the head attached directly to the apex of the legs? This tripod has a 2-section center column. Can the top section of the center column be removed and the head attached to the bottom section of the center column?

Q: 4. Could anyone please confirm the statement I got from the review of other source of this product "My tripod came apart while in use. The threads holding the ballhead mounting plate to the tripod are made of plastic, and they pulled apart.?

Q: 5. Will this support my Canon 5dMark IV with a 24-105mm lens in portrait mode without creeping?

A: We would say you should not have any issue of the ball head moving once locked. If you are doing a lot of vertical shooting, you should consider using an L bracket. Kirk BL-5D4 L-Bracket for Canon 5D Mark IV B&H # KIBL5D4. This will fit directly into the clamp on the ball head.

Q: 6. How do you convert it to a boom?

A: The center column of the 3 Legged Thing Charles 2.0 Darkness Magnesium Alloy Tripod with AirHed Pro Ball Head does not turn into a boom arm. One option would be to add this Sirui HA-77 Horizontal Arm to it and then the Sirui would be a boom arm. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1325160-REG

Q: 7. Will this be a good tripod for a Nikon D750 + Tamron 15-30mm G2? Approx 1960g. I do mainly (like 99.99%) vertical shots.

A: Yes and No. Tripod legs will hold fine, but not the head. Get a better tripod head like the K-20 II or K-30 II, and pair it with a L Bracket for vertical shots.

Q: 8. Is the included ball head the same as the Benro IN00 ball head?

A: It has the N00 ball head, which is similar but not exactly the same as the IN00. Works just fine on mine.

Q: 9. Will my Manfrotto 488RC2 head work on this tripod?

A: Yes, the Manfrotto 488RC2 head will mount on the Sirui A1205 Carbon Fiber Tripod with Y-11 Ball Head once the ball head is removed. It will mount with the 3/8"-16 threading found on both the tripod and the head.

Q: 10. For the Manfrotto video plate version of the AirHed Cine, where can I purchase replacement or additional Manfrotto video plates that will work with this head? Are there particular brands recommended?
