Product Description

The 808RC4 streamlines our range of 3-way heads by incorporating new elements while maintaining all the features you loved. There are two balance springs in the vertical tilt (forward/backward) and horizontal tilt (left/right) movements. These springs enable you to more comfortably handle heavier camera loads (such as very long lenses) with minimal effort. Both springs can be turned off in case normal head operation is required. The head is comprised of aluminum and designed in a manner to support up to 8kg yet lightweight and small enough to pack in any camera kit. More Details >>

Customer Reviews

Quick release problem
As with another reviewer, the quick release is a problem. It gets jammed and I can't get the camera off, except after several minutes of pushing and pulling. More >>

What do you expect? It's a Manfrotto.
This product is heavy. Very solid build that feels high quality. Only complaint is that the tightening/locking knobs might be difficult to secure for a person with weak hands. More >>

DO NOT BUY MANFROTTO 808RC4 3-Way Head
You can't get your camera off the darn head. I had this Manfrotto 808-RC4 3-way head for a year and had nothing but trouble with it. More >>

Old school tripod head
Much like the 055XPROB tripod I bought with it this head is also very heavy duty. Outside of its weight there isn't anything I've found not to like. More >>
