Additional Manfrotto 322RC2 Joystick Head Short Information

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 the precision construction of the 322RC2 that gives the head its load capacity of 11 lbs (5.5lb capacity when in the 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).The 322RC2 is suitable for use with 35mm or medium format cameras. In addition, you can also mount the 322RS shutter release accessory. The 322RS is a world's first. With its remote control electronic camera shutter release, the 322RC2 becomes the only photographic head available today that can put camera control within reach without having to move your hand from the head grip to the camera body.

What Customers Say About Manfrotto 322RC2 Joystick Head Short:

I was still not sure what to get and so I decided that I would take a chance and buy them based on recommendations made in a digital photo book that I liked: The Digital Photography Book Joystick head: Pros: If you have never used a joystick head on a tripod, this will come as a pleasant surprise. Great. I have had cheapo tripods-but I never used them after one or two tries. I bought this along with the Manfrotto 190XPROB tripod. With this joystick, you only need one hand to move the camera around at various angles. I am an amateur so that ruled out carbon fiber tripods as way too expensive. Never expected that the head would be as expensive as the tripod.

I really didnt want to have to fiddle with knobs and things umpteen times to get the camera at the right angle prior to working on focus and other important things. Speed was my biggest hangup with other tripods.

Ouch. But it was what I expected: It was very quick and easy to use.

It was too hard to change orientation etc. I was a little nervous since I was not sure what to expect-I had only read reviews on it.

Cons: It is a bit heavy and somewhat large but otherwise works great. I tried to find some reviews on tripods and very quickly learned that they were expensive.

I also quickly learned that you had to buy the head and tripod separately for the good ones.

I love the speed & ease of use of this head. I'd have to agree that the cons of this head is the slightly sticky grip at the beginning of movement, as well as minute changes of the head can be a hassle. I got this head to go with my Manfrotto 190PROXB tripod. What an awesome combo that worked out to be.

The level bubble is extremely handy (practically essential) to have with this type of head.The only downside I could see is it could get rather heavy if you are traveling a lot, but I specifically wanted an extremely solid, heavy, well-built head.Highly recommended. This tripod head is extremely durable, locks in tighter than any other "joystick, grip-style" heads I've used before.

I bought a Manfrotto 190CXPRO4. Be sure to get an equally rock steady tripod to go with it. It holds my Canon 30D with a 70-300mm telephoto lens absolutely steady in almost any direction or angle. The joystick feature is just amazing.

This head works well with a light setup (5DMkII w/16-35mm or 24-70mm) but if you use a heavier setup (5DMkII w/70-200mm and battery grip) you will notice some slippage.
