Bogen-Manfrotto hit another home run with this head. This is a very solid piece of heavy-duty equipment. Paired with the Bogen-Manfrotto 410PL Accessory Plate 1/4 3/8"F/410 and the Bogen-Manfrotto 055XWNB Wilderness Tripod Legs, you have a very solid and versatile foundation for your camera gear. It is hard to find a better setup, and that is why I bought one for my wife.

If you are new into photography, I suggest you get the same gear that I mentioned and it will be the last time you will need to get a tripod setup. I have many friends that tried all kinds of cheaper combinations, and they all ended up spending more money than I did due to them having to upgrade to better gear because the old gear did not get the job done. Now the majority of them have the exact same setup I have been preaching for a while.

good head
By JeffVerified Purchaser from Milwaukee, Wi. on 1/21/2008

Attaches Firmly, Good Stability, Large Range of Motion, Strong Clamp
Best Uses:

Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought the 808RC4 to support a 400mm lens. It took some getting use to adjusting it horizontally. It would move after I let go of the camera. I learned not to be holding the camera or lens while making the final adjustments. I only hold the horizontal clamp handle while tightening it down.
