 I'll Never Go Back January 12, 2008

After years and years of shooting with a regular head this was my first experience with a ball. It's great! This particular one works very well. My only complaint is that it's a little heavy. I cart it up and down mountains with my tripod (also a Bogen-Manfrotto) and I wish it were as light as the super expensive ones.

Heavy enough for my big lens, easy to use, and makes my mono pod much more flexible.

I had been using an old inherited camcorder tripod that was cumbersome and not worth the hassle to use with it's multitude of controls. But I was missing out on getting good shots in low lighting conditions. Now that I've received the Bogen-Manfrotto 486RC2 ball head and done a series of interior room photos in both portrait and landscape orientation, I only regret not having it for my previous travel adventures. The ball control has enough variation in the tension to let me make subtle adjustments without losing the basic setup, or I can go all the way to vertical in a snap. I bought this head for my Nikon D40X including 18-55mm and 55-200mm lens. Another reviewer mentioned being careful to hold your camera while making adjustments--good advise when making big changes. Even so, the tension can be maintained snug enough for slight changes without fear of your camera crashing over. I planned on buying a tripod head only once, and couldn't be more satisfied with this product's ease of performance.

This is a great and affordable all-purpose ball head. Best used with shorter lenses, although it can handle the weight of larger ones. I used it with a Canon 5D and 100-400L attached, but it's a bit unwieldy with that load. Note: it is not for panoramas. Get the 486MGRC2 if you want that additional option.
