Bryan Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Maybe you won't be as daft as me, but just in case...... I use a Joby Gorillapod with the Sony Nex, and recently bought a ball head to go with it. Seems a well made piece of kit, works well. Today I decided to attach the ball head to a Manfrotto monopod, to see over an obstruction, and that was fine too. The problem is I can no longer attach the ballhead to the Joby, the screw thread on the monopod must be a tad bigger. Edit - all is not lost, there is a screwed adapter within the Joby ballhead and that had become attached to the Monopod. I removed it and screwed it back into the Joby Ballhead and all is well! Phew.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 You mean the Manfrotto has reamed out the thread? If so the ballhead must be made of rubbish metal. I'd send it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Crossed messages Mark. See my edit above. Yes indeed that would be a problem, but, fortunately, not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Ah. Most things nowadays are 1/4 but a lot of pro kit used to be 3/8. 7dayshop sell a good ballhead which is 3/8 and they kindly sent me an adapter- they break very easily if you try to tighten them with a screwdriverto prevent such unwanted transference, beware.
