Q: 1. Does this handle work with tripods that don't already have a handle? I want to attach it to where the pan lock knob on my tripod screws in.

A: This pan bar only works with the 500HLV or a tripod that has a similar gear size to attach it to. Itried to attach this pan bar to a 502 HD Manfrotto fluid head and the gear/teeth on the pan bar for the 500 HLV is actually smaller and will not hold in place. Hope this helps.
