The FEISOL CB-60D is an Arca-type compatible ball head that can be attached to tripods or other support systems that feature a 3/8"-16 mount. When closed, its internal, dual-caliper locking mechanism firmly holds the head's ball-and-socket joint in place and helps provide a load capacity of 84.0 lb.

Cameras or accessories that are compatible with a 1/4"-20 mount can be connected to the included QP-144750 Quick Release Plate. The quick release plate can be attached or removed from the integrated clamp located at the top of the head's ball-and-socket joint by tightening or loosening the clamp's rubberized, knurled, locking knob. Within the recessed surface between the clamp's jaws is a retaining pin. This pin prevents an installed QP-144750 Quick Release Plate from accidentally sliding off when the clamp is opened. The quick release plate features a rubberized, non-slip platform, while a button along the edges of the clamp can be pressed to retract the retaining pin when removing the plate.

By loosening the ball head's primary locking knob, the head's ball-and-socket joint can be quickly swiveled, angled, fully tilted, or returned to its upright position. Variable tension can be applied to the ball-and-socket joint's movements by adjusting the friction knob located toward the side of the ball head opposite the primary locking knob. Toward the base of the ball head is a secondary locking knob, which controls the ability to rotate the head 360°.

Q: 1. What is the total weight, including the ball head?

Q: 2. Can this center column be bottom mounted? (Like to hang your camera underneath, between the legs)

A: Yes the center column of the CT-3441S is reversible.

Q: 3. Can the ball head be removed or is it permanently attached?

A: On the TT-15B model, the ball head cannot be removed. If you want to be able to remove it, I recommend the regular TT-15 with the CB-30D ball head - this is basically what you are looking for.

Q: 4. What is difference between TT-15B vs. TT-15 Mark II with CB-30D ball head. They look similar to me in terms of load capacity, but TT-15B seems quite cheaper?

A: The TT-15B has an integrated, non-removable ball head which is a simplified version of the CB-30D - it has no Panning Base or Friction Adjustment.The TT-15 M2 comes without a ball head - the CB-30D is an excellent companion ball head for it, but the TT-15 M2 can also be used without a ball head altogether.

Q: 7. If i have an L Plate that is Arca Compatible do i still need to buy a quick release plate?

A: The L-Plate works like an Arca-Swiss style Quick Release Plate, so you will not need an additional plate.

Q: 8. Does this come with a quick release plate? If not what can you recommend?

A: The QP-144750 Quick Release Plate is well designed and has bidirectional slots and a lock button that make the mounting/unmounting more secure. The description is misleading where it says "Quick Release Systems not included," so I thought that I needed to add the QP-40 Quick Release Plate at $19.95 which is not as well designed as the included plate. You can compare the two plates if you search the Quick Release Systems accessories for this tripod and order extra QP-144750 plate(s) if you want.
