Manfrotto 322RC2

Take the versatility of a ball head, add true ergonomic control and you get the 322RC2 Horizontal Grip Action Ballhead! The 322RC2 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 precision construction that gives it a load capacity of 11 lbs (5.5lb capacity when in vertical position). The 322RC2 comes complete with a built-in bubble spirit level and quick release camera plate (standard 1/4 -20" screw, with secondary safety pin). Suitable for use with both medium format cameras or those using standard film or digital backs up to full-frame DSLRs.The innovative horizontal grip also incorporates controls for instant access during shooting sessions: an integrated Arca-type compatible QR system; an easy-to-reach repositionable locking lever; retractable rotating clamp; dedicated slot for hex key storage; plus two built-in bubble levels at different angles so you can quickly align your shots precisely as envisioned.The versatile Manfrotto MHXPRO-BHQ6 XPRO Ball Head features an integrated RC2 quick release cam lock and a hybrid magnesium-aluminum construction.The Manfrotto MHXPRO-BHQ6 XPRO Ball Head has been designed specifically for photographers who want maximum precision from their photographic equipment.0
