I know that this Model comes with a Ballhead, and My question is that is it Universal? I have a Canon 60D, and I wanted to know if it's compatible?
Asked by: Anonymous
The SBH-100 ball head included with this Vanguard tripod would fit on the bottom of your Canon EOS 60D via the quick release plate for the head.

question

I know the ball head is included. But is their a reuglar plate to attach the camera or other accessories? Also, most of the reviews I read was about photography, would this be a good tripod for DSLR filmmaking?
Asked by: Anonymous
While this tripod is ideal for still photography, a more ideal tripod for video would be the Vanguard ALTA Pro 2 263AV Aluminum Tripod with Alta PH-114V Head, B&H # VAAPR2263AV. This tripod incorporates a pan/tilt head specifically for video use. https://bhpho.to/2lPPJei
