Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will a Manfrotto / Bogen 501 type quick release plate fit on this tripod head? I have them on all my cameras and like being able to switch out quickly without mounting a new plate.

A: No, it won't fit. You'd need to get another quick release plate

Q: 2. Does the EK650 fluid head have a flat base for mounting on sliders etc.?

A: It is a 75mm bowl type of tripod so you would have to mount the slider on the fluid head.

Q: 3. What is the folded length

A: The folded length of this tripod is around 33 inches.

Q: 4. Can the Fluid Head ball mount be removed in order to use it on a slider?

A: No. To be able to use this fluid head on a slider, you would need to mount it into a riser, such as the one illustrated here https://bhpho.to/2WTVVki

Q: 5. What is the folded length of just the tripod legs without the head on it?

A: The folded length of the E-Image EK630 Professional Compact Tripod with Fluid Head legs is 30.7".

Q: 6. Is the head removable? If so what size is the screw, trying to see if its possible to attach my slider.

A: It is sort-of removable? The threaded portion is not meant to be removed, but I suppose with some modification it could be. That being, said the base would not be stable (it is a ball mount NOT a flat mount) and if the threaded part is removed it would not easily convert from tripod to slider mount. You would need something like out GH03F to mount correctly.

Q: 7. Is this tripod compatible with Canon XL2 standard definition camcorder?

Q: 10. is this a video Tripod?
