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).

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I used to loathe lugging around a tripod
I have been using a traditional, three knob tripod head for the last couple of years, and absolutely hated carrying my tripod around. In the instances where I absolutely needed to use it, it was always a chore. It was a pain to setup, and fine tuning once you had a rough composition was difficult, to say the least.

I finally replaced the old head with the Manfrotto 322RC2, and I actually enjoy using my tripod now. Composing shots is much more fluid and natural. You can readjust quickly, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Perfect Head for your tripod
I have a big DSLR with a battery grip, as such it is pretty heavy.

When you put on some heavy glass, especially a long telephoto lens, most heads will drop and fall under the pressure.

I originally had a panorama head (made for doing 360 degree panoramas) the problem was, I had to remove by battery grip, and only use my 50mm prime to use that pan head with my other tripod. It could not support the weight.

I use this head with this tripod (which I think is the best ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fantastic Head !
When i first saw it in one of the local stores, i decided that this is what I am gonna buy it. Absolute flexibililty in moving the head in every possible direction and you can control the friction of the ball movement with a screw. But its little heavy. I use it with my Manfrotto 190XPROB leg and I love it so far. Its a little pricy too, but worth the buck !



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - high quality device
As usual this manfrotto ball head is excellent. I have owned the pistol
grip version for years and I have loved it. Unfortunately, it's frozen
on to the bogen aluminum tripod so that I can't remove it to use on my
new carbon fiber tripod. For that reason I decided to purchase this new
version for my second tripod. My collection of rapid connect plates from
the old ball head work with this new device. Needless to say, I am very
happy with my purchase.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Must Have Tripod Head
Replaced my Pan Tilt head with this grip action ball head and will never go back. Action is mostly smooth and easy. (Tilting forward or back is sometimes a little sticky) but the grip is sure and unmoving. Easily holds a D300 with grip and 70-200 VR lens securely (about 6-1/2lbs).

Tension is adjustable, trigger squeeze is not too strong and the unit is easily converted to vertical or left handed use. Although I am right handed, I found that shifting the grip to the left allowed me to keep ... Read More
