Question: Can someone clarify if the BOTTOM thread of this head is 1/4" or 3/8"? (I'm NOT concerned about the thread on the quick release plate!). Thank you!
Document: I bought this for use on my Monfrotto Video monopod with the idea that I can unscrew the video head and use this head for my 70-200 lens when shooting stills. Since I am using the Video monopod it has built in panning left and right at the base of the monopod. While this head isnt super smooth it is very simple and lightweight. It was quick to screw on and fits both 1/4&#34; and 3/8&#34; threads with the included reducer brushing.
Works as advertised. I thought I would need a 1/4 to 3/8 male/female adapter but did not. Feels like it is well built and holds my D700 with a 70-200mm lens with no issues.
Great monopod head! One quick release plate to rule them all.....from landscape view to profile view in zero seconds flat, well maybe 1 second, but still, it's got a nice beefy feel to it.
I just got aGiottos MM9180 5-Section Aluminum Monopodand this head fits perfectly inside the monopod's carrying case.Now I'm looking for another head for myBenro A2970F Versatile Tripod with Aluminum Flip Lock Legswhich uses the same Quick-Release Plates as the 234RC.Can anyone recommend a pan/tilt head for a Sony DCR-SR100 Camcorder which weighs about 1.5 lbs? It seems like a manfrotto 701hdv might be overkill for such a light camcorder.
Manfrotto has just way too many heads available for their monopods and tripods. It took me forever to figure out what to buy. I'm really happy with this simple, small, rock solid, flexible head.For me, this head screws onto the Manfrotto 682B Self Standing Monopod (Black). Attachment couldn't have been easier, thread on the bottom of the head to the top screw of the monopod. Bam, job done.What I really like about this head, the quick release mechanism.
I wanted a simple "head" for my monopod....nothing expensive, difficult to use, compatible with my existing tripod. I like this head as it is very straightforward with minimal adjustment, and it comes with a quick-release plate. I'm am extremely pleased...Manfrotto has a customer for life!
thank you for the delivery...i got it on time,though i was a bit worry i couldnt get the item in 3 days due to the distance for delivery to australia.I would recommend u to all my friends who is looking for something
Monopod head is sturdy, well-made, quick-release with lock works well. The up and down panning is sufficiently not smooth as to render this movement not useable. I'm not sure if a touch of oil will fix this or not. I would probably look for a different ball head in a future purchase.
It has no problem handling the weight of my camera, although I'm careful with it just in case. For most folks taking photos of kids at various outdoor sports, this is the perfect solution. I can't imagine using a monopod without it. The head swivels 90 degrees for vertically composed shots. The locking quick release allows for fast removal of the camera for hand held shots.
I purchased this to mount a D300 with 70-200 f2.8 VR zoom on a Bogen 679 monopod. The camera and lens are of substantial weight and I was worried that the head might not be able to handle the weight of the camera. It's rated for a 5.5lb capacity. My camera with the lens and MB-D10 weighs a beefy 6lbs 10oz, so I'm overtaxing it. If I was a working pro, I'd want something more substantial.
Answer: It's 3/8" and comes with a 1/4" adapter insert if you wanted to mount it on top of another tripod or similar.
