Dave, I distinctly remember seeing new Sunpak tripods that
are the spitting image of new Slik tripods, with the same
specs, so I think Slik is OEM'ing the new lightweight stuff.
Exact models I'm not so sure of.

ReallyRightStuff sells an L bracket for vertical shots
specifically for the Bogen tabletop. Very expensive,
but should make that little bitty ball head more usable.
Me, I just put a swivel head on the ball head when I want
a vertical with that nice little tripod.

Quick question - are you able to use ANY manfrotto head on ANY manfrotto
tripod? Or are only certain heads suited to certain tripods?
I have looked on a number of websites, but nothing seems to mention
compatibility, so I am guessing that I can pretty much order whichever head
I like and
Hello Tanya,
Pretty much that is true. There are two different sizes of screw on
bolt on the center column. Most heads/columns are the same. There
are a few heads that have a spring loaded inner sleeve that allows it
to mount on either size screw.
I have 4 different heads and one leg set.

Yet my cheapo, garage-sale tripod has a 1/4 screw on the top of the 'pod.
Would it be fair to say that better quality tripods have a 3/8
Hello Jon,
Probably. My Velbon Victory 550 has a 1/4 also. But some Manfrotto
heads have that inner sleeve which will fit on your pod.

This one can be found for $50.

If that's the tripod I
Almost all tripod use either a 1/4 or a 3/8 threaded mounting stud. As far as
I know all Manfrotto heads will work with either. That said some of the larger
heads will look very strange on a smaller tripod and not work very well with a
smaller camera.

You'd be surprised what the Manfrotto tabletop tripod will hold. Mine held

You are right, it looks like Sunpak 3300 Pro is actually Slik 330 DX in gray color and
$20 cheaper.

No
most higher end tripods from any vendor have standard threaded screws and
the higher end heads will have matching sockets.
