Wish the head were removable

By Philip
Rated 2 out of 5
Date: 2024-02-11

The base is great but I wish the head were removable so that I could attached my own head. As the head provided only swivels left the right, it has limited use when the subject is above or below you. If putting the head on, say, a wall and wanting to shoot at a lower subject, the only way is to shove something under the base to point it down, making the base more unstable. If the head were removable, then a substitute head that could be rotated on the vertical axis could be used.

Excellent Panning Ground Pod

I found the Visual Echoes Panning Plate to be well made with a dampened and very smooth panning movement. The panning plate and clamp attaches to a lens foot. Light enough that I hardly notice it is there with my 600mm lens. Works very nicely when placed on top of a bean bag for shooting out the window of a vehicle. If you are riding in the rear seat of a vehicle and have access to the windows on both sides, you can mount a bean bag on both windows and quickly move from the right side to the left side and be ready to shoot in a few moments. This is much faster than use of a pano head attached to the top of a bean bag and having to attach the lens foot to the clamp each time you move from one side of the vehicle to the other.

Can the head by easily remove from the plate and put back? I'd like to do that for travel/transport purposes.
Asked by: David
Yes. The head can be removed from the Visual Echoes Panning Plate by removing the two base screws at the bottom.

Is there any way of attaching this to a tripod to take landscape shots for stitching together as a panorama?
Asked by: Alind
We're afraid not. The underside of this unit does not offer threadings to attach it to a tripod. This is meant to be put on surface only.

question

Is it possible to mount a gimbal head on this? Will it require any additional quick release plate?
Asked by: Anonymous
I suppose you could. I use a Gimbal head but never felt the need to attach it to the panning plate. When using the panning plate I was in a safari vehicle with open roof and beanbags. I just mounted the lens to the panning plate and kept shooting. You would need to put a Swiss arca plate on the bottom of the Gimbal head and then put the head on the panning plate if you want to mount your gimbal head there.
