Don't buy this Man 804RC2 unless you try it first with your gear to be sure it does what you want (i.e., don't buy on name or photo alone). All the bearings are dry plastic-on-plastic. I needed this to hold my high optical-powered gear steady and to get t...

The Older Manfrotto 3030 Head was Much Better
The 804RC2 is a fantastic plastic disappointment. I purchased an 804RC2 and sent it back the next day! The load capacity is almost half that of the 3030 it replaced. The quick release mechanism is flimsy and loose. Overall this thing is a cheap, lame desi...
Manufacturer's Description
3-way photo head constructed of ultra-durable and lightweight technical polymer, the 804RC2 easily withstands the daily rigors of the professional photographer. A unique spring feature has been added to the 804RC2 to assist in the tilt motion of the head to compensate for heavier, off-center loads. Ergonomic and newly designed handles fit comfortably in the hands, while the standard quick release plate fits snugly in the low-profile receiver.
