Editorial Review: 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). Average Rating:
 Rating: - A Must Have Tripod HeadReplaced 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 ... Read More Rating: - Just what I was looking for...Although some have said that this type of ball head is hard to use and is not reliable (slips at times), my experience says otherwise. I used it all day today, and found it quite easy to position each time with a simple, one-step adjustment. There is a tension (friction) adjustment wheel on the pistol grip that controls the tension of the grip of the head on the ball (not the tension of the pistol grip, as some think). I actually put my whole body weight (I don't recommend this, though) ... Read More Rating:  - Good sturdy ball head..but not quite perfectI bought this on recommendation from a couple fellow photographers. While it is by far better then some of my previous ones, it's not quite perfect. Pros: - Quick attach/detach of camera - Super quick to reorient thanks to the action grip - Ability to change from handle grip to pistol grip - Adjustable firmness for grip itself (not the grip on the ball, but the movement) Cons: - Does not grip 100% on portrait mode..slips, which is disappointing. ... Read More Rating: - stable and convienient!I bought this head with a multi-purpose in mind. i shoot wildlife, still life and landscapes. It is by far the handiest head I've owned. forget leveling the tripod with the pan/tilt heads. A simple squeeze of the lever and level the camera. I was apprehensive when ordering as I shoot wildlife with the Sigma 50-500 (4 pounds alone) mounted on a Canon 40D with grip....pretty hefty. The head is solid and doesn't move when the lever is released. the friction adjustment works great! I find ... Read More Rating: - Great Tripod Head!This is a great tripod head. It has a quality build and is very versatile. It came shipped in the right-hand operation configuration (as shown), but I easily converted it to be controlled with my left hand. I found this to be a much more natural position allowing my right hand to hold the camera grip, manipulate the camera position, and fire the shutter of my DSLR. |
