Manfrotto 498RC2 Ball Head w/Quick Release Plate

This heavy-duty ball head features three separate control knobs to assure safety and steadiness of your expensive camera and heavy lenses. The main Sphere control securely locks the ball in the desired position. The Friction and Pan controls allow smooth and precise movement for accurate positioning of your shot. The Quick Release feature securely locks your camera in place and gives you the ability to make fast camera changes. The head attaches to the tripod with standard 3/8 inch thread.

NOTE: This Ball Head is a high-quality, heavy-duty earlier version of Manfrotto's ball head product offerings. The 498RC2 was designed for heavy loads and provides full 360 degree panning for spectacular panoramic shots. To many, it falls into the old adage "they don't make them like they used to!"
