Velbon CX-440 Tripod Questions & Answers
I need a spare part
Sorry that I can't give you a definitive answer, but Velbon do not publish a spares catalogue.
Spare parts are usually available for current/recent models but you need to contact Velbon directly via the web address given below; it takes you to another page which is appropriate to your country. The part which you're after is called a centre column crank handle.

Velbon are at the budget end of the market so spares support and repairs have never been that great, but the company do sometimes simply post you a new tripod instead of repairing the old one.
Note that if you're in the UK and the tripod has failed earlier than can reasonably be expected then it is covered by the Sale of Goods Act (SoGA) for up to six years. Note that it is the seller, not the manufacturer, who is liable under SoGA and the manufacturers warranty is in addition to your statutory rights.
How to remove stock pan head on velbon el carmagne 530 so I can replace it with a ball head?
I presume this is a tripod, although you have not stated. On good quality tripods, the head attached to the centre column with a screw thread, either 1/4" or 3/8". Grasp the centre column firmly, and rotate the existing head anti-clockwise, first checking to ensure there are no grub screws restricting its movement. When you have removed it, attach the replacement.

I'm looking for the Velbon Videomate 601 instruction manual for my tripod.
Is a manual or instruction leaflet really necessary ? Tripods are actually amazingly simple to use. You spread the three legs (three legs - 'tri'-pod) and place them firmly on level ground. Then you attach the camera, camcorder, spotting scope or whatever to the top, and use the equipment as desired.

Which quick release plate do I need for the velbon UP-400
Unless you have added an adjustable head to this monopod (in which case you need the QR plate appropriate to that head), it appears to feature only a standard 1/4" thread screw, which has in and of itself no QR capabilities.
Please pass this info to your friend Anonymous.

Does the Velbon cx-300 fit most camera's
If your camera has a 1/4" thread socket on the baseplate, it can be fitted to the pan and tilt head in the illustration of this tripod provided by a Google search. The manual should give you definitive information if you are still not sure.
