But the head is not removable. Charley, I hate to disagree with you, but the head is removable. The tiltall was the choice tripod for newsfilm shooters in the "old days." We'd prise the head off of it, and replace it with an Aussie (O'Conner, I think) fluid head. I used to have a closet full of tilt-all heads. I must say though, this is not a recommendation, because the tiiltall weathers badly, and the oxidization causes it to freeze faster than many others.
