Yes, you can do this using the 14138 adapter for the 280 head to be mounted on the Televit. The only two problems I can see with this are 1) Trying to find the adapter - scarce item, really hard to find and 2) trying to buy a Televit without buying the 400 or 560 head. These two heads are f/5.6, so that takes care of your faster requirement. I have not tried out the 280 on the Televit, as even 400 seems a little short for most of my applications. BTW, I was shooting the 560 today. Lots of sunshine and 400 film at f/5.6 was giving me exposure times of 1/4000 to 1/8000. But it was breezy, and the 560 acts like a wind sock in these conditions. Lots of fun holding it still to shoot. Have to see what my results are Monday. Bill Rosauer
