Can you put a fluid head on a steady cam?

Here is why I ask... I'm just learning video, coming from the still world. I'm therefore learning that there are a lot of specialized pieces of equipment for video. My main goal is going to be wedding videography, but I'd also like to do some fun stuff as well as the typical overachieving father taking video of his kids

So... One of the first items I was thinking about buying is the Manfrotto 561BHDV-1 Fluid Video Monopod with Head. I also thought having a steady cam of some sort would be really cool. Then I saw the Monocam CF Pro (Feet edition). They made a hybrid steadycam/monopod. Seems to have decent reviews, though I realized some Glidecam and others look down on them. Anyway... I have searched and not found an answer to the following question:

Can you put a fluid head on the Monocam CF Pro and still have it work as a steadycam? If so, it seems like a perfect solution to the low cost hybrid equipment that would work for me.

No. You have to carefully balance your camera equipment on the steadicam. Anytime the weight or weight balance of the camera gear changes, you will have to rebalance. You cannot even use a zoom lens without rebalancing.

One of my buddies couldn't figure out why his standard camera setup was suddenly not balanced anymore-it turns out he had the power switch off and that was enough to throw it off.

Can confirm adding a fluid head would not work (I tried), I've got one of those Monocam CF Pro rigs and it can be be perfectly set up but just removing the lens cap from the lens can be enough to start it leaning backwards!

I'm about to order a quick release plate too so I don't have to mess up all the balance every time I remove the camera. Also I've found myself starting to remove the feet for more consistent results.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I've heard slight motion would mess up the balance. I guess in my mind I was thinking of having hard stops to return the head to where it is balanced, but I guess that doesn't really exist on a fluid head. I wasn't even thinking that way when I asked the question... I was more thinking about the overall extra weight it would add and the arm sticking out to one side.

@StayFrosty, how do you like it overall? Do you find yourself using it as both a monopod and steadycam? Or in your opinion is the non-foot version the way to go (sounds like it's messing up the balance for you)?

I have to admit to not having used it as much as I would like to, pretty much limited to around the house and garden. It's been nothing but work, dark winter nights and cold weekends since I got it in November.

The time I have spent with it I have enjoyed using it, it is definitely not an easy skill to master and will take quite a lot of practice but I have had some very satisfying results. Setting it up is pretty easy (Youtube vids cover this in depth) but as it seems with any steadycam you have to do do it dead right or you get unwanted motion when you change direction.

The product itself is pretty well made, all the bearings seem very smooth and to my eyes there's no major corners been cut to get it to such a low price. How it compares with a big brand one I couldn't tell you.

BTW I would get the feet, only a little extra money, removable within 10 seconds and very useful when using it as a monopod.

Edit: By God you'll build up some biceps though, it is surprisingly heavy holding the camera and rig out in front of you for any amount of time despite it's relatively light weight!
