Manfrotto 234 RC monopod quick release head.
Manfrotto 234 RC monopod quick release head.
Overall: a good quality head at a good price.
DETAILS:
Tilt head and swivel.
3/8″ female thread.
Load capacity 2500g.
Weight 270g
Quick release plate with safety catch.
What’s it like to use?
It feels very strong and more than capable of holding 2500g. I know this because I’ve used it on a Giottos monopod to support my Nikon D7000 + Nikon 300mm f2.8 lens, a total weight of around 3600g!
I find the quick release head a bit fiddly to use and the safety catch a bit sharp on the fingers but that’s my only complaint.
Current price £22 (February 2012).
