Review: Great Head for the Right Applications - Before ordering, I wasn't sure if I'd like this head on my monopod. I shoot a lot of sports action, always still pictures, and had always used ball heads. This head pivots, but does not rotate. Long story short, this head works great for the right applications, and its quality construction and reassuring heft makes it a pleasure to use. Moving the monopod instead of the head to compose pictures quickly becomes natural. Panning to catch the action is never a problem -- just rotate the whole monopod. I did find that there was some tendency for the head to slightly unscrew from the tripod at these times, but only a partial turn, and never so much as to affect stability. I find it quick and easy to swing the head 90 degrees to either side for portrait-oriented pictures. The head stops at 90 degrees, so I don't have to fiddle around locking it or trying to hold it in position if I need to take a quick shot. This would not be a good head for movies or if you aren't typically shooting with the the lens fairly level (like capturing birds in trees). Thus I wouldn't use it, for example, for basketball or volleyball shots. But for most field sports, cross country, baseball, tennis, etc. --- it provides better support and ease of use than a ball head. This is a serious piece of hardware, and requires a serious monopod -- a lightweight ball-head would be a better match for a lightweight monopod.
Review: Outstanding head for my Manfrotto monopod. - Bullet proof! I have some small ball head mounts that were designed for a monopod, but they are just not sturdy. I ordered a fantastic Manfrotto carbon fiber monpod and I put this mount on top. It is rock solid! Highly recommended. I was heasitant primarly because everything I own, I've been replacing with Arca Swiss clamps, etc. Manfrotto needs to follow RRS (Really Right Stuff) and make a plate that can work in a Manfrotto as well as an Arca compatable mount and plate.

- EASY TO USE: A user-friendly tilt head designed especially for monopods.
- VERSATILITY: Versatile enough for both vertical and horizontal formats.

I've been a happy user of the Manfrotto 234 monopod head for a few years but I wanted to be able to switch between my tripod and monopod without having to remove the quick release plate to do so. I run the Manfrotto XPRO ball head and it uses the RC quick release system so this was a natural fit. I mainly use the monopod with my Sony A99 with vertical grip and Sigma 50-500 lens. It's a heavy combination and hard to hand hold steady and with this head on my monopod I get clearer shots with easy maneuverability. The quick release plate locks in securely and I've never been worried about it coming loose and dropping my gear on the ground, once it's latched it won't move without flipping the release lever. I run the pivot point where it's just loose enough to allow easy vertical panning but not so loose everything just flops around, that allows me to recompose my shot if necessary without grabbing for knobs and cussing when I had it screwed down too tight and missed the moment I wanted to capture. A monopod head is required to do a proper stance and have everything locked in position. You want the monopod at a slight angle in front of you and without the head the lens would be pointing up... this allows a sturdy position and still be able to frame the shot how you want it. I did receive an open package and can only guess that it was a return. The head still looked brand new and all of the parts and pieces were there so no real complaints. I don't know why anyone would return this head, it's a quality product and necessary for proper use of the one legged wonder. Their loss!
