Questions & Answers

JIm B : can you replace the fluid head with another video head and keep the half ball base to quickly adjust the level?KAI E : your answer can be found here, look up on utube - "Tripod 3Pod V2AH Aluminum 3 Section Video Tripod with Fluid Head"FRANCKY N : I don't the see any reason why would you wanted to do that, but yes you can replace the head and keep the ball base part and it's detachable, you will need allen wrench for that.
Terry L : How does the head on the V2AH compare with the head on the V3AH?JAMES V : The V2AH can go 16 inches higher compared to the V3AH. Other than that, they both have the same fluid head and same specs. It is the maximum height that tis the difference.LUIS O : im not sure... i bought it and it works great ....use it for video
John m : Is there a fluid head for video with a flat base that uses the same plate as the v3ah?Christopher S : I doubt if you could use a Manfrotto fluid head on the 3Pod V2AH or take the 3Pod plate and put it on another head.Ian B : Yes there is ??MICHAEL S : I am not sure what you are asking? what is the purpose for the flat plate? To mount a ball head for a camera? If so you can get an adapter to mount the ball head. This is what I did. As far as I know, there is not another fluid head for that tripod. I got the adapter for less than $1 at my local camera store,FRANCKY N : John, There are plenty of tripods flat mount heads that uses the same plate as 3Pod V2AH. Like Manfrotto, Smith Victor, Davis & Sanford and Sachtler. You just gotta finds the one that fit your need.KAI E : Your questions is a little confusing... as this is about the V2AH and you are asking about compatibility? If, I understand you correctly then you want to know if you mix plates?

Just Right!

This tripod is the best one that I have ever owned plus it looks like it will hold up well over time. I use this in my videography business and it makes making quick adjustments a breeze.

Flashpoint Tripod VT1

Fantastic video tripod. Sturdy, smooth and extra height make it perfect for my soccer videos.

Quite good for the price

This tripod is sturdy, quite large (at least 6 feet when legs are extended), and well built for the price. The pan and tilt are smooth, although the tilt is very stiff and there isn't a drag adjustment knob. Other than that, though, it's great. Well done, Adorama/Flashpoint.

Very nice tripod and do recommend

This head is very fluid and reasonable... Okay, so the handle for the control of the head does not lock in place and has a small learning curve so you can control movements without rotating the handle at the same time (would be nice if they had a lock for the handle). The screw that mounts the camera to the plate also does NOT come with a "loop" that most plates have and you will need a coin or a screw driver to secure your camera (not a big deal). The screw that locks the sliding plate in place is also so close to top of head that you have to make sure to have screw almost fully tightened before mounting camera as it will hit underside of camera if camera is at the rear of slide when mounted (again not a big deal). Pros, the slide has a double stop so if the nut that locked slide failed the ''stops" would stop camera from sliding off the front or rear of fluid head. Height fully extending is a stable platform and it looks and feels that way. It has two level bubbles (one for the legs and one for the fluid head) then it also has a screw knob that you adjust to fine tune your camera if you are using your camera's built in level (where applicable). The video you see attached here was with only 15 minutes use and this was very easy to get comfortable with. Do recommend this product.

This tripod is the best one that I have ever owned plus it looks like it will hold up well over time. I use this in my videography business and it makes making quick adjustments a breeze.

The V2AH Video Tripod from 3POD is designed for maximum stability and portability, making it the ideal support system for on-the-go assignments with payloads of up to 11 lbs. The 3-tiered extendable leg system reaches a full height of 77.0" and features sturdy rubber feet, large, easy to grasp locking knobs, and a torsion-resistant aluminum center brace for added support.

The 2-Way fluid metal panhead attaches to the body of the V2AH with a half-bowl adaptor mounting system. It is manipulated by a fully adjustable textured handle, and provides a 360 degree range of silent, jitter-free motion with state-of-the-art dampening,counterbalance and drag functions, a built-in bubble level, and individual directional locking.

The sliding quick-release plate allows placement of each camera at its optimal center of gravity, very helpful when dealing with heavy battery packs or attached cables. Additional handles or left-handed configurations are supported by a flexible dual-rosette design.
