Is there a way to ensure that the ball head ...
Is there a way to ensure that the ball head doesn't come off when the panning feature is being used?. Are there screws from the window mount that "screw into" the ball head aside from the female? I notice that there are some protrusions from the window mount . Do those screw into the ball head? I am concerned that the ball will come off!! Thanks.
The BE-117 and Oben Car Mount designed to come off with adequate force in order for you to potentially replace the ballhead with something else. If you would like it to be permanently attached, we recommend using a very strong (and very permanent) thread sealants like Loctite, which you can acquire from hardware stores.

question
Is this ball head compatible with Benro - Classic A3580F Aluminum Tripod, and Nikon D810?
Hi Dee, Although I don't have a Benro tripod, I believe that most tripods have a standard size screw that the heads screw into, so I'm guessing it would probably work. I would defer to the experts at B&H to answer that question with authority. Regarding the D810, I have several Nikon cameras and they all work because there is a plate that you screw into the bottom of the camera and it fits into the top of the ball head. So, I feel quite confident your D810 would work. Hope this helps.

Can you turn the top clamp 90 degrees for either a camera base or for a tripod collar foot?
I mainly use this ball head on my platpod plate, it is very easy to use and light weight. I have my L bracket on my camera, so I don't need to make 90 degrees turn.

Does the Falcam F38 work with this?
Does the Falcam F38 work with this?
I am the one that asked this. And while it does fit it does not hold the camera in place. When I put it vertically the camera slides out of place when fully tightened down
