Product Description

Bogen Manfrotto 322RC2 Grip Action Ball Head is unique in that it allows you to unblock, move, position and lock your camera with one hand in one position. This is due to the revolutionary design of its grip handle which incorporates the ball lock lever. A friction control wheel lets you regulate the power of the blocking mechanism to match the weight of your camera and lens. The 322RC2 is made from magnesium for lightweight performance, and is designed to keep the weight of your equipment as close as possible to the tripod's center of gravity by way of its reduced height. It is this fact, matched with the precision construction of the 322RC2 that gives the head its load capacity of 11 lbs (5.5lb capacity when in the vertical position). It comes complete with a built-in bubble spirit level and quick release camera plate (standard 1/4 - 20" screw, with secondary safety pin).

Great Piece of Equipment

This is a very useful head for your tripod ! I use it with my 3021B Pro Manfrotto Tripod. This is a very good combination - The grip head supports up to 11 pounds & the tripod 13 pounds.You can move the head around by squeezing the pistol grip handle and then release the grip to fix the postion of the ball head. The head is very well made.The one thing that might be a problem for sum people is the fact that the squeeze handle needs a nice amount of hand strength to function properly.However, it...

Quick adjusting, well built and simple to operate

I bought this head with a Bogen 3021pro tripod.Withing minutes of taking it out of the box I had it on my tripod with my Rebel on the top.It works just as I had hoped based on the description, and it is really well built.Just by holding it in your hand you can tell it is a solid piece.By simply pulling the trigger you can change the angle of your camera almost on the fly.There is also a friction control knob that adjusts the tension on the trigger.I was concerned whether the head can handle long...

322RC2 head with the 3021 tripod.

I bought this head to go with the 3021 tripod and am so glad I did. I have bought so many cheap tripods and they are always losing feet, swaying in the wind and are unstable. This head is so fun & easy. It has an easy squeeze handle that you can set the tension for ease of movement and quickly position your camera (even vertically) then just release and its locked in place. The levels are also accomodating as they are right where you can see them. The locking mechanism has a pin that adds additional...

works very well for spotting scopes

I bought this head for use with my spotting scope, which I use for birdwatching.A typical tripod head is such a nuisance when you are trying to scan flocks - there are too many things to tweak on the head alone, let alone trying to adjust the focus and zoom on your optics.This works beautifully for birding - you can move the scope in any direction with a single hand by squeezing the handle, leaving your other hand to focus the scope as you move.There are several minor drawbacks: the head can be...
