Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto Hydrostatic Ball Head with RC2 Rapid Connect System, Supports 22 lbs:
This ball head doesn't budge a bit with my Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 and D80 on it, and it's a little lighter than my old tripod head (which couldn't hold the 300). It's easy to make quick adjustments, and I find myself out shooting wildlife a lot more these days.

Have it mated with the Manfrotto Neotec Black Tripod Legs & couldn't be happier.
It was a great choice.

This is a great tripod ball head. It's very easy to use but on the down side it's heavy.

I bought this head primarily for macro photography. I have had several Bogen heads over the years and this is by far the best. It is well made. Its strong point is its strength. It is very sturdy. It locks and holds its position and has very smooth motion. The ease of use may incline me to take the tripod on long hikes more often instead of just a monopod.

Took it out of the box mounted it to my 055cxpro4 tripod and noticed that the quick release had too much play for what i was paying for. at [$] i didn't expect that. I sent it back and got the RC0 mount which cost [$] more but has no play and has 3 points of attachment versus 2.

Good item for the price. My wife & I both have the same one so the plates are the same on all our cameras.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto Hydrostatic Ball Head with RC2 Rapid Connect System, Supports 22 lbs:
Switched from a pistol grip to this. Pistol grip will probably be available in Adorama's used shop soon. Love the separately settable friction. While shooting a balloon festival recently, I was able to set friction to where I could reposition camera from landscape to portrait, and have it hold solidly, without touching ball head tension knob, while using 18-125 lens. Not that loosening the clamp is hard to do, but I'm lazy, and liked being able to skip a step.
Simple to use, and minute adjustments were easily accomplished.
Holds 100-400 mm lens rock solid.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto Hydrostatic Ball Head with RC2 Rapid Connect System, Supports 22 lbs:
I bought this head to replace a quite heavy geared head. I was amazed with this product - it's so much lighter and much easier to use. I tested it in Grand Canyon with my 24-104 L lense and it was perfect for long exposures as well as portraits (fast and smooth movement). I absolutely love the grip of the locking mechanism. It is a bit pricy but a definite "must have".

My first purchase of a ball head (previously had "all-in-one" tripod). Just starting to use it, but seems like it will be an excellent product.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto Hydrostatic Ball Head with RC2 Rapid Connect System, Supports 22 lbs:
The only problem I've had with this lens is that the lens will drop down a little after locking when using a larger telephoto lens. It will hold great after the initial downward movement, but you have to allow for this movement before locking. I believe there are better choices available for this price.

Excellent compact ballhead that combines exceptional ease of use and super stability. Holds well above its rated weight with no loss of stability.

This really is a very good piece of kit; the Italians certainly know how to engineer quality equipment. The ball head is very smooth, the adjustments are very delicate and do not require major forces. While this tripod head is expensive, you are buying quality.
