    • Quality doesn't cost, it pays.
Have been on fast track learning about tripods. Am doing multiple video interviews with Sony 4K videocam. The camera itself is relatively light and I have been of a mind that a mid-price, mid-weight tripod is all I need. Since I do a lot of panning in the process, I have come to realize that having a smooth panning head on the tripod is critical to the quality of the video. Most of the the tripod heads I have encountered have plastic to plastic moving surfaces, or at best (or sometimes worst) plastic to metal interfaces. I have broken several down and attempted to come up with a fluid smooth action using silicone grease. That helps but the result is still not the action I need. In addition, panning with a lighter tripod can result in the tripod being moved during the process. So what to do. I have a big Bogen/Manfrotto tripod with a good DSLR head that is unfortunately not set up for panning. The recent May-June 2016 Audubon Society magazine has the 2016 Audubon Photography Awards, but in addition has a section on tips for smarter photos and specifically recommends the Manfrotto 128 RC tripod head for its smooth panning. So I went ahead and ordered one. I like bargains and try to find quality for less, but sometimes the adage "You get what you pay for." rings true. The Manfrotto head is simply high quality. It is well designed and well executed in exemplary Italian fashion. Even the camera quick release plate exudes quality as it clicks into place. The panning function is ultra smooth and the tripod itself plants like a rock. It goes out in the field tomorrow for another video but I am certain it will come through with flying colors. You may be able to pick up a used Manfrotto aluminum legged tripod at a thrift store or garage sale since the carbon fiber ones are now the rage. Hopefully, you might even find one with the 128 RC panning head. But if you don't, I can highly recommend this one. You won't be sorry because you bought the best, and the extra bucks spent will soon fade from memory. And you'll never need to think about whether or not you need a better panning head. Learn from my experience. You can thank me later. ... show more

    • Better getting the LP model and putting on Arca Swiss Clamp-RC plates not so good for heavy 80mm scopes or 300mm + lenses..
Edit-a few months later on. I raised my rating a bit after using it a lot. If I had to do it over again I would get the LP model with the 1/4" screw mount and install a good Arca Swiss screw clamp and a permanently attached AS plate on my head. Does the job but not as precise and solid as the bigger 500AH series. Attachment plate is the weak link . Guess I'm spoiled with Arca Swiss plates like on my Kirk ball head. Still the attachment is easy and there is a lock for the lever. I'm using this on an 80mm Swarovski spotting scope and the plate does feel a bit small on the big scope and I should have gone for a larger head with a longer bigger mounting plate. The anti twist pin is plastic and snapped off quick so In order to get the anti twist to work I ran a 6mm x 1 tap in the hole that the anti twist pin was. Then used a shorty round head screw in it's place so now no twisting. That said the head does do a GREAT job with a spotting scope and a so so job with a heavy telephoto. Still it's better than hand holding a heavy tele and it makes a great back up for my 3 series Gitzo. Tilt and pan are acceptably smooth and if I had not used the 500 would not have know how good a fluid head should be. Still does a good job with a scope. Best part is the light weight and low price. I'm using it on a Series 1 Basalt Gitzo tripod so it makes a nice light strong combo. ... show more

    • An excellent two-way pan head for birding
I purchased this tripod head to use with my 85mm spotting scope for birding. The head meets all of my expectations and needs. The pan and tilt action is perfectly smooth, the panning arm is adjustable to your exact preferences, and the quick release plate and mechanism is very secure. The only downside I can think of is the weight and total height of the head. While the metal construction is incredibly solid, it does make for a heavier head and its height means it may be difficult to fit into luggage or carrying case while still attached to the tripod. Overall, I am extremely satisfied and would purchase again. ... show more

    • MANFROTTO 128RC FLUID HEAD W RC2 CONNECTOR
I am very pleased with this addition to my Bogen / Manfrotto lineup. It mounted right to my 25+ year old Bogen 3020 tripod and 681 monopod w base, another reviewer said he needed an adaptor. I primarily got this head to use with my spotting scope but I will also be using it with my Nikon D80 and 7000. It is very well made, the exception is my other RC2's are all metal, this release lever is plastic, similar to the release tabs on my tri and monopod. It does however have the locking spur to keep from accidentally releasing the RC2 which is missing on some other heads. I would rather see Manfrotto not scrimp and make this out of metal also. It pans and tilts as smoothe as butter, another reviewer said it was too tight but loosened up with time, mine is great. Another reviewer said it tipped on him and he thought his camera was top heavy. My D80 with a 70-210 / 18-108 / 18-200; and the heavy Tokina 12-24 showed no signs of drift or tipping. I also like the ease that the pan arm can be rapidly removed. This will make it much easier to get in my Manfrotto bag for storage and transportation. For $75.00 and change; with free shipping and a $10.00 rebate; if you ever wanted a fluid head now is the time to get one. Another winner from Manfrotto........... ... show more

    • Really good price / performance point -- albeit light duty
Good quality product - certainly lighter weight (cheaper) materials than the Manfrotto products of 20+ years ago that I still use often. However, it was a great value / performance point for my HD video camera - which is consumer size / weight. Not sure how it would handle on the upper end of the weight limits claimed by Manfrotto -- but certainly anything in the < 3 pound camera should work great. Perhaps this is common - but it did take a little work to secure the head to the main tripod base (mostly because it seemed to keep coming lose if the tension on the pan was too tight). Then I realized my base had some set screws I could tighten down against the head to hold securely. I know not all tripods will come with these -- nor have the same issues on install. ... show more
