Q: 2. What is the weight of this head?

A: This head weighs 4.5 lbs.

Q: 3. Can this head be used with the Feisol Tournament CT-3442 Tripod or the Gitzo Lightweight Traveler Series ?

A: The Feisol CT-3442 and the Gitzo Traveler tripods do not take bowl-based fluid heads. You'll need to get a flat-based fluid head.

Q: 4. What is the counterbalance weight for this Tripod head since its fixed?

A: The GH03 head counter-balance weight is 5KG.

Q: 5. The knob on the bottom to release the head is very difficult to grab and apply sufficient torque. It oftens loosens while tilting. Can i replace the knob with the paddle style knob from a Sachtler FSB8t video head? Are these threadings universal? Thanks.

A: Hello,Unfortunately, these threads aren't universal, but they are a standard M8 thread. I can't say for certain if the Sachtler locking knob will work, but if it uses an M8 thread there is a good chance it will. Also, make sure your load doesn't exceed the 11 lb. recommended limit for the GH03, and that the center of balance for the load is over the center of the head. No matter how tightly you lock it down, an overburdened or unbalanced head will shift in the bowl much easier than one that isn't.

Q: 6. Can this this fluid head be used with a monopod?

A: Yes it can be, just as long as the monopod has a 3/8" stud to connect to this head. E-Image offers the MA-90 4-Section Aluminum Monopod, B&H # EIMA90, which will work great with this head. https://bhpho.to/2wjNkMm

Q: 7. Is there fluid in this head or just friction disks? Everyone says fluid these days but it doesn't mean it actually has it.

A: I'm guessing is friction, I've never opened it so I don't know, but the fluid is not talking about a liquid, is talking that it has a fluid movement.

Q: 8. Is the GH06 compatible with the Sachtler Flowtech legs w/75mm bowl?

A: Yes, you should be able to use the E-Image GH06 Fluid Head with the Sachtler Flowtech 75 MS Carbon Fiber Tripod with Mid-Level Spreader and Rubber Feet.

Q: 9. What is the height and weight of this head?

A: Height: 6.5 inches Weight: 4.4 lbs.

Q: 10. Is this head versatile for beginner?

A: Absolutely. I purchased this head to attach to my slider and it's been great. It's smooth, well built and fairly lightweight. I also have an E-Image EG03A2 tripod with the same head which makes switching from the slider to tripod a breeze. The head is very well suited for those interested in getting started in videography/indie-film making, but has enough features to provide room to grow. Are there better heads out there? Without a doubt. Are there better heads out there at this price point? I don't know of many. I hope this helps you with your decision.
