  Solidly built... January 5, 2009
This thing is built like a tank and works easily. All metal construction, no cheap plastic to break, should last forever. A very nice addition to my monopod and camcorder.
 Almost perfect... December 30, 2008
Bought this to use with my monopod Manfrotto 680 COMPACT MONOPOD - Monopod and zoom lens Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG APO HSM Large Aperture Macro Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras the only problem was once everything was "attached" the camera and lens would tilt left or right. I wanted everything to tilt up or down which made handling very awkward at best. I bought and installed Realy Right Stuff Kit still using the Manfrotto 234RC body (RRS now offers there own but is much more expensive) this made all the difference in the world. Now everything is more of a pleasure to use. If you plan on making the modification, highly recommended.
If not... then maybe your needs or usage is different from mine overall it's a good product for the money.
Can't go wrong with it November 30, 2008

I recently bought this Monopod head that goes with the Manfrotto 694 Monopod. Amazon listed this item as an accessory to the Monopod. Both of them are made for each other as they fit well as one piece. The 234RC provides a quick release just by turning the thumb handle that lets the top plate popped out. Once the plate is in place, a side pin provides additional safety to prevent the thumb handle from turning. That's definitely a nice feature in this head. Great buy so far!
Does What it Should November 16, 2008
This product does what it supposed to. Easy to install and use. Smooth movement which helps when using a video camera.

I searched through hundreds of Monopod Heads on dozens of sites, for the one that would suit my needs at a reasonable price. I have a QSX VersiPod that I use as a "walking stick" that has pop-out tripod legs at the bottom. I wander the rivers and swamps of SC for good shots, and I need the versatility of both tools in one. This head is perfect for my Nikon D80 with a VR-18-200 lens, and it is built like a tank. I have already built up my confidence in the double latching quick release feature after a couple of walks in the swamp. This is just a great Monopod head that can take some punishment and perform when needed.
