The pivot foot is too stiff and makes panning difficult. In soft ground the whole foot grabs the dirt. Any replacement ideas without buying 3 feet?
Really the best solution is the Benro 3-Leg Locking Base For Monopods linked here. https://bhpho.to/3fC8c6s. This will grip the ground and then allow for smooth panning. Any solution without 3 feet on the bottom will not have the same panning action.

This is going to be my first monopod. Will I be attaching this to the camera body (shorter lenses) and the lens for longer lenses? OR will I also need to get a pod head?
My rule of thumb on this is to attach the monopod to whichever component is heavier. If you are using a longer lens for birds and wildlife, you will most likely want to attach to the lens. If the lens has a tripod collar and foot, you will want to atach to the lens. If you plan on photographing birds in flight or high in trees, I'd get a tilt head. Leaning the monopod back will only get you so far,

Hello. I would like to use this monopod with my Ronin-s gimbal, to act as a jib. Will this monopod support the weight of my setup of about 8 lbs(Camera/lens/gimbal) while using it as a jib? Thank you.
Yes, this monopod will easily support the weight.

question
Does the this monopod have a removable foot revealing a thread at the bottom? I've seen mixed answers on this with someone claiming the aluminum version does not but another stated the carbon fiber version does. I'd be using this to affix the monopod to the top of a sturdy lightstand for more height. I understand the risks involved and would be standing beneath the unit supporting it at all times. Thanks
I have the aluminum version of this tripod. It appears that the ball joint and foot are connected to the bottom of the tripod via a threaded shaft. It takes a wrench to get it off, though, and I have not tried this.

question
has any one been able to get it packed in carry-on luggage?
Do not try to carry any monopod on a plane. You run the risk of it being confiscated as a weapon.
