This versatile head is fitted with a 3157N quick-release camera plate with a secondary safety catch. This head is perfect for 35mm SLR cameras with medium lenses, and light medium format cameras.

A direct replacement of the 3262QR Midi Ball Head, the 484RC2 features a strong die-cast construction, precision machined aluminum housing, and an extremely hard phenolic resin ball which provides smoother movements across all tilt positions.

It has a single indexed ratchet locking knob for 360 degrees pan and a double groove for +90 degrees-90 degrees tilt movements. Camera plate has a 1/4-20" male thread, and head to tripod attachment is 3/8" female.

Not as tight as it should be.

"It should be perfect but it is not. The clamp doesn't hold tight and slips if moved vert. If manufactured properly to fit their own products this wouldn't happen. I had to hire a welder at $75 an hour to make our work better.I do use other products of theirs but am looking for a better fit for our company...." Read Full Review »

"This ball head was purchased as a kit with the Manfrotto 190XPROB tripod. I have no problem with either of these products as they demonstrate high quality workmanship and are very functional.

"This is a nice and inexpensive ball head, with the same quick release system as many of Manfrotto's other heads (i.e. the RC2 system). This makes is great for those with multiple tripod/monopods. It's small and light and simply to use, too.

★★★★☆

4.0

"This ball head is excellent for the money. It is small, and with some lenses it will drift in certain directions. Best for a monopod. If you use heavy stuff, I recommend Ball head wcr2. The quick release plates work well. I also use this ball head with my Nikon SB 600 flash. "
