Q: I have a Manfrotto ball head on a Manfrotto tripod. I have tried to turn the head counterclockwise, but it didn't work.

A: Some Manfrotto heads have locking screws around the base so first check for those and unscrew if found.
Next use a light oil spray such as WD40 to spray in all around between the head base and tripod and leave to soak in for an hour or two before trying to remove the head. Sometimes tapping the head on a firm surface can also help loosen it but do be careful not to damage the head.

It should unless someone used a thread lock on it....

Try spraying a little furniture polish (which is silicon grease) onto the thread and wait a minute, it should loosen it.

Will a manfrotto 501 tripod head hold a 5kg camera?

Written by Vi* | Monday, June 02, 2008

I want to get a tripod fro a professional mini dv camera but I don't want to spend too much. can anyone suggest any tripods? I saw a Manfrotto 344b with a 501 head on ebay. Will that do?


A: the 501 fluid head is rated for 6 kg, so you should be good to go.

how can i keep my tripod head from unscrewing on the tripod?

Written by The AC Man | Tuesday, December 23, 2008

My ball-head keeps unscrewing from the tripod when adjusting the camera laterally. How can I hold the head onto the tripod more accurately, without it slipping around on me? I don't want to make any permanent alterations if I don't have to.


A: Use Loctite blue on the threads

What is the best $150 budget tripod/tripod head ?

Written by Questioner | Monday, June 23, 2008

My budget is $150. Planning to take some night landscape, HDR and infrared pictures. My current tripod is not sturdy and precise (tight) enough (cheap $30 tripod). I need advice on what to choose, especially the tripod head (ball heads etc.) within my budget (if there is any)
Thank you.


A: Look for the tripod you really want, but buy it used from craigslist.

I use a Bogen / Manfrotto and an old, old, Tiltall tripod
