From the Manufacturer
---------------------
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 pounds
(5.5 pound 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-inch screw, with
secondary safety pin). The 322RC2 is suitable for use with 35mm
or medium format cameras. In addition, you can also 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.
Features include:
* Sturdy all-metal construction.
* The compact, rectangular 200PL quick release plate system fits
neatly under small-bodied still cameras up to SLR (even with tele
lenses) or small medium format, or under small video cameras or
spotting s. Its rubber pad gives a good grip without
damaging the camera, and its angled sides ensure that it also
fits perfectly and tightly into a wide range of Manfrotto heads.
* This head features a secondary security lock so you can't
accidentally release the plate (and camera) without meaning to.
The lock stops the quick release lever from opening fully.
* A convenient single locking mechanism blocks or frees movement
on all axes for greater speed of use.
* Separate control for pre-setting the friction of the ball when
unblocked. The position of the red line indicates the approximate
a of friction applied.
* By keeping the head and camera ing plate as low as
possible, the camera is kept safely closer to the tripod's center
of gravity for more stable support.
* Thanks to the repositionable camera plate, this can be used
right- or left-handed. Photographers are normally forced to be
right-handed by the position of the shutter release button, but
the advantage of this system even to right-handed users is that
you can keep one hand on the grip to control framing position and
switch rapidly between portrait and landscape settings, while the
other hand stays on the camera, ready to shoot even with the head
in movement. Keeping both hands positioned like this gives you
greater control over panning or tracking s.
* Designed for use with the 322RS electronic or 322RSM manual
shutter release cables and s; the first accessories to let
you control head positioning and shutter release at the same
time, with the same hand, without needing to let go of the head
grip.
* The built-in, carefully hand-set bubble spirit level helps make
sure your horizons really are horizontal. What's in the Box:
