Q: 1. I just received my Feisol CB-50DC but I can't seem to free up the ball head. It's jammed. Is there something I am missing?

Q: 2. What is the diameter of the base?

A: The base diameter of the CB-40D is 60 mm / 2.4 inches.

Q: 4. Is the FEISOL QR system compatible with the Kirk collar for the Nikon 80-400 mm ED lens and the Sunwayfoto L-bracket for the Nikon D600/610? This may seem to be a trivial question, but not all Arca-Swiss-compatible systems are truly compatible. Many thanks.

A: Yes it is compatible with the Kirk collar and the Sunwayfoto bracket.

Q: 5. do i need to purchase a plate w/ this tripod (ie, the thing that attaches to my camera) or does it come with it?

Q: 6. Can i use this ball head with a Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro Tripod Legs ?

A: Yes, the tripod specifies a 3/8 -13, Male mount, and the ball head specifies a 3/8 mount, so these will work together.

Q: 7. Product description says it is Arca-Swiss compatible. Doesn't look that way in the photo. But I am relatively inexperienced in the ways of tripod heads. Is it Arca-Swiss compatible? Thanks.

A: Arca-Swiss is not a standard. Therefore manufacturers make their own up. Having said that, most clamps and plates labeled Arca-Swiss will play together. Feisol is a good company and yes this head is Arca-Swiss compatible.

Q: 8. Does this have he ring on it to tighten or do you need a tool?

A: Yes, it has a ring on it to hand-tighten (no tool required)

Q: 9. Can this ball head support a Canon 300 f2.8 & 1D Mk IV on a Wimberley sidekick or Induro GHBA?

A: Yes it can, the CB-40D has a 33 pound load capacity. That is more than enough for cameras like the C300 and 1D Mark IV.

Q: 10. With Feisol CT-3441T tripod, would you be able to reverse fold the legs without splaying?

A: Hi Andrew - there is only minimal splaying with the CB-40D and the CT-3441T still fits in the bag which comes with it.
