Can the clamping plate that's attached to the ball head arm be removed. Is the a mounting screw in the middle that attaches it to the ball head.

Hi Dagov,Im away from home for three weeks, and I havent used it in a while. What I do recall is the tightening clamp had to be eased to allow the unit to rotate, which then left it somewhat unstable.

Yes, the hex screw can be removed. But it's close to impossible if you do it hand-held. What I did was to clamp the ball head to a wooden table with a clamp similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-39180-6-Inch-1-5-Inch-Ratchet/dp/B000NY4UDQ/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1385929739&sr=8-12&keywords=clamp. So as not to damage the finish of the ball head or the ball head itself. It doesn't need a lot of torque it just needs to be clamped down really good. It will also be easier to uninstall the ball head from the tripod if it's connected to one but remember to remove the 3 tiny hex screws at the base or it will be impossible to unscrew the whole ball head assembly esp. if it's connected to Vanguard tripod. And if you're planning to change the original Vanguard quick release clamp to an Arca-Swiss compatible one. I found that this one makes the most sense: http://www.tripodheadinfo.com/uncategorized/video-%E2%80%93-c-12-retrofit-on-vanguard-ball-heads-sbh-100-and-sbh-250-and-sbh-300/. It's a Wimberley product.

The mounting plate, to receive your ball head, is larger with the two bubble levels and they have added an attachment point at the top of the legs for attaching different arms gor reflectors, lights or flashes. That's all I see.

My guess is you may possibly could use another swivel plate for a ball head. There already is a spring loaded dual threads on the top of the plate.Would depend on the type of ball head you have. I hope this may answer your question.

It all depends on whether the mounting plate at the back of the ball-joint part is the same. There are at least two basic shapes for that plate; one has the square plate like mine. They also sell mounts with a more diamond-like shape. get that part right and you're fine so long as it's a one-inch ball on the end. Hope that helps.

There are 3 screws (with anchors) that attach a plate to the wall. The claw clicks into place on the plate solidly; it is not removed with normal use of removing and replacing the ball.

I'm not sure. Never tried to take it off, but the ballhead works really well.

Thank you for your question. Yes there is a hole in the center of the plate that can be used to attach the adapter plate to a custom bracket using what looks to be a 5/32 or 4MM screw.

Yes, the ball head is screwed on the tripod via a 3/8 inch thread screw, you certainly can replace it with somethingelse.

As far as I can tell, ther should be no issues with attaching another brand of BallHead or other tripod head, as there are the typical 1/4-20 threads on top, which is standard for any tripod I've worked with. Hope this helps, good shooting!

This is not an item attached to the ballhead or tripod mount. It is attached to the camera body to be inserted in a Swiss Arca-type mount that is attached to the tripod.

You can mount it directly on the plate, but I don't recommend that method. The free quick release plate will be good enough or you can use your own.

If I were you, I'd rather buy another one of this instead of just getting a replacement plate...not much of a price difference, at least you'll have a spare ball head...good luck!!!

Hello. Yes, the attached Slik SBH-100 ball head can be removed from the monopod itself, so any head with a 1/4"-20 mount can be substituted. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Have a great day! Deven Morgan Event Cameras

You are better off buying 1 of these from here. The plate is replaced by the holder. : Ram Mount X-Grip III Universal Clamping Cradle for 10-Inch Large Tablets (RAMHOLUN9U

As long as the ball head uses a standard 3/8 or 1/4 stud this clamp will screw on and work fine.

The ball head should be able to come off, not sure how to do that. I tried to remove it but no success. Although 4th pics from product page does have inverted center column.
