wengfei tripod question about the head

I Have been using this weifeng tripod for a month now and it's the best bang for buck tripod I can think of.

It is sturdy for
1. Canon 1000D
2. Canon 430 ex
3. Tamron 17-50mm non vc

it has a ballhead.

My question is, will the ballhead be replaceable with those benro's and manfroto ballheads?

You secure the camera using a circular piece with a single screw. Not sure how much weight it can hold tho.

Won't be a problem. They're standard.

thanks i just clicked the buy button

Bad News!!!

The head i bought will not fit my tripod... the screw of the tripod is too small it is too loose... is there a way to remedy this?

Maybe something like this?

wow is this available in home depot or something?

what is the size of the bottom of the head? is it 1/4" or 3/8"?

right. sometimes the stud will reverse but not usually on cheaper tripods.

Thanks ed

I was about to return the head. Hope I get to see that tripod adaptor here and be able to use it right away.

i have checked the tripod and bought a bushing adaptor. the weifeng tripod has a 1/4" thread so i needed an adaptor for it to make it a 3/8" to fit the benro head.

Excellent. Glad you found the adapter locally.
