Can someone explain the difference between the CB-50DC and CB-50D Feisol Ballheads? I have a Feisol CT-3442 tripod. Thanks.
Asked by: Peggy
While the two models are functionally identical, the CB-50DC has an outer layer of carbon which the CB-50D does not have. This feature gives the CB-50DC two advantages: 1. Compared to Aluminum (CB-50D), Carbon feels much nicer to the touch, especially in cold weather. 2. It gives the CB-50DC the matching signature FEISOL look of the exposed carbon structure, which many photographers find quite attractive.

question

Can the quick release plate attached to the head be removed easily? I am considering replacing the quick release with a lever release.
Asked by: Eric B.
Yes, I find the plate to be very easy to remove. I use the Feisol tripod, ballhead and release plate with my Nikon D610 and various lenses. My most commonly used lens is a Tamron f.8, 24-70 zoom. To remove the plate one only needs to loosen the thumb set screw slightly, and slide the plate out. There is a safety lock, with a button release, which keeps the plate from sliding out on its own. The button is easy to push which sliding the plate. A single-lever release may be slightly faster (I have one on a different tripod), but the Feisol unit is very well built and the slide will not drop out accidentally unless the set screw is pulled back. All said, this is a fine piece of equipment.

question

I just received my Feisol CB-50DC but I can't seem to free up the ball head. It's jammed. Is there something I am missing?
Asked by: Laurie Anne
The only thing I can think of might be to adjust the friction control dial located near the bottom of the barrel.

question

Can I connect this to any tripod? I have a 20-25 year old very good and solid BOGEN Tripod. Will this connect to this tripod?
Asked by: Anonymous
You can attach a FEISOL Ball Head to any tripod with a 3/8 Mounting Screw which is very much standard at this point.
