Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3229 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head with Quick Release - Supports 5.6 lb (#3229):

This is a great little monopod head, and the price cant be beat for a Manfrotto! Its Built well with a great quick release that's comparable to all my other Manfrotto heads and excepts what Ive found to be Manfrottos most common quick release plate (200PL-14/3157N) The head itself only has one axis adjustment for panning the lens up or down, or if the quick release plate is set the other direction on your cam it would give you the adjustment for portrait. My only complaint (and its a big one for me) is that the quick release plate must be mounted sideways (long way parallel to the lens) when set for the lens to pan up and down, which is opposite of all my other Manfrotto tripod heads. Making this not only seem backwards but requires me to turn the quick release plate 1/4 turn if I am switching from one heads to another. This head would have got 5 stars otherwise ;)

This came with a monopod. It looked like a nice head[...]

This Manfrotto 3229 Swivel Tilt head is well made and very easy to use with my monopod. I was wanting to carry a monopod while hiking and this gives me good stability when needed. The release plate locks onto the camera very well. I don't have any heavy lens (heaviest is a 70-300 or 24-70).
I wish I had ordered a second release plate at the same time because I usually carry my Canon G9 with me along with my dSLR.

I ordered a used (excellent condition) Manfrotto 234RC and I adore it. It's awesome! It's sitting on my Manfrotto 3016 monopod and it's totally transformed my monopod. If you don't already have this monopod head, get one!

Makes it much easier to transport monopod and lens without being difficult to reassemble for use.

I am using this head on my Manfrotto 679B monopod. The head is strong enough to support my Canon 50D and my huge Sigma 150-500mm telephoto lens. Excellent build quality, easy to adjust the tilt friction, smooth action. This all adds up to great performance when photographing wildlife and birds.

Use mostly for field-level sports photography

The Manfrotto swivel tilt Monopod Head with QR is a constant companion on my Manfrotto monopod. It has greatly improved my ability to get the shot by the ease of attachment and use. I recently found out how tough it is when photographing a local waterfall. I was trying to get to that special spot when I stepped in a hole and went down hard. What did I land on? My camera STILL attached to the monopod. It hit the ground before me and I landed on the monopod and then hit my head on the lens. The camera was stable enough on the monopod that it landed on the rear with very little movement with no damage other than a few scratches on one side of the lcd. The lens was unfortunately another story. It's locked up. Well after a few stitches and some major pain meds and ice packs both camera and the photographer are doing well with not a scratch on the QR Manfrotto head.
The quick release is as strong as the standard head and much more convenient. I recommend it wholeheartedly for pro and amateur alike.

Good replacement for my old Monopod head
Sturdy
Good quick release

A hefty Nikon D200 needs a secure mount. This one is quick to use and gives me confidence that it won't fail to hold. The screw mount to the camera is cumbersome and requires either a coin or other screw-driver like thing from your pocket. I am looking for a folding thumb-screw I can replace it with.

i use this head for my monopod where i can take photo and go with stability. this head is solid and you can tilt your camera 90 degree to take vertical shots. great product and it isn't make in china.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3229 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head with Quick Release - Supports 5.6 lb (#3229):

This is a great head for a monopod. It can be used in two directions (not at the same time). If you need to switch from horizontal to vertical just mount the quick release in that direction (there is an indicator on the bottom which tells you what direction the plate should face). If you need to tilt up or down it is great for that too as you can adjust the tension screw to add just the correct amount of friction. The head is rock solid and comes with a quick realese plate to mount on the bottom of the camera (or lens) body. There is a brass pin which can be locked for extra security.

Just what I needed on my monopod for those hop out of the car shots

I already use a simlar model on my tripod and wouldn't be without it. It is just as handy and easy to use on the monopod I recently purchased.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3229 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head with Quick Release - Supports 5.6 lb (#3229):

Only had a chance to use this once so far on a monopod and it did what I needed it to do. It's a little heavy, but that's what I expected.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3229 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head with Quick Release - Supports 5.6 lb (#3229):

It does the job. It does not stand up to a heavy set up, battery grip and long lens will make it sag a bit. It does claim 5.6 lbs. and I think that is probably the max.

Nice compact head that I use on a monopod while hiking. Light weight yet stable. Good piece of grad and go equipment.

This is easy to use, detaches very easily. A bit heavier than needed.

I bought this head to go with my monopod. I know some people put a ball head on their monopod but I really don't know why. The tilt is all that is needed. If I need vertical orientation I have a jr elbow with the same quick change plate. I do not have any negatives on this head.

I was buying a monopod from Adorama and this came up as a recommeded add on. I researched the head and found 4 out of 5 people use this head. It works great and gives you more flexability in photography. It helps with stabilization greatly.

I carry it with me at all times and found this system very good.

I purchased a monopod along with this Bogen-Manfrotto swivel head for my father for Christmas - as an avid photographer (he used to be a professional photographer) he was absolutley thrilled with it. He's used it multiple times, and no complaints yet. Best of all, I no longer hear him complain about fuzzy night shots - they come out great every time!

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3229 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head with Quick Release - Supports 5.6 lb (#3229):

so much better than lugging a tripod around! Yes, there is a time and place for both; however, I would rather use the monopod than the tripod. It is great for when we go on our nature walks and I need to stabilize a shot. I have had my tripod for over a year and have never thought of dragging it along on a walk. I am looking forward to all the great shots I am going to get this spring!

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3229 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head with Quick Release - Supports 5.6 lb (#3229):

This unit's description says it swivels and tilts. I was disappointed to find that it does not swivel, this would be useful when this unit is used with a monopod that can be used as a tripod when the leg adapter is utilized.

Seems like a very well made product I would think it could support more than 5.6 Pounds but am not going to push it to find out. I also like the fact that it has a safety latch to help prevent it from accidentally opening.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3229 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head with Quick Release - Supports 5.6 lb (#3229):

I purchased this monopod head as an addition to my monopod. The head allows you to take landscape shots and quickly adjust to take portrait shots. The quick release is a big plus! You can attach your camera to the monopod in seconds. I though the item was so great, I had to by another to add to an old tripod (a tripod with no tilt adjustment). Now I have a quick connect/release on both my monopod and my tripod. What a great product!

The monopod head provides good stability at the cost of weight. I attached it to a hiking stick and was pleased to be able to rig a tripod out of branches. The quick release works well once you get used to it.

This monopod head adds the virtue of "quick release" that the Bogen - Manfrotto 3232 Swivel Tilt Monopod does not have. As with other Bogen/Manfrotto heads, it is solidly constructed. Highly recommended!

I use this on Bogen-Manfrotto Compact 4-Section Monopod. Makes attachment very easy. Allows for Portrait shooting. If you have a monopod this is a must. Same Bogen plate as other items.

Works great.

Does exactly what it is designed for, and with Manfrotto quality. Don't forget to add one to your monopod, you'll be glad you did.

This is a versatile piece of equipment and a fine addition to the monopad.

Simple to use and very stable. The release lever lock is nice, so you dont have to worry about the camera coming off. Camera is well attached when its on there, no play or unwanted movement.

I'm using this with a Slik 381 Monopod. The quick connect and safety latch are ideal for this purpose, saving the effort of screwing a 'pod onto the camera or lens mount each time.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3229 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head with Quick Release - Supports 5.6 lb (#3229):

This does exactly what it's supposed to do. Stabilize atop a monopod giving you one axis of tilt. To use the other axis just rotate the camera plate and remount.

I have used it in the field, festivals and family
gatherings and even loned it out for prom and graduations,all with great results. Great on my monopod.

At their exceptional price I've even bought several spares.

Great monopod head. It's very easy to use, the RC2 plate works great and attached firmly and you can easily shoot high or low objects from a monopod by easily tilting the lens upward or downward. Well worth the low price.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3229 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head with Quick Release - Supports 5.6 lb (#3229):

Great monopod head. I much prefer this to a tripod ring on my 100mm macro lens. It is quick to set up and use, and even faster to pop your camera off and take whatever shots you see. Very powerful clamp, the extra lock adds some security for me. Head has received a lot of use and abuse with absolutely no signs of damage.

I am happy with the Swivel Tilt Monopod Head, except for a quality control issue (the handle to fasten camera is not attached properly, it took me a while to place it back).

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3229 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head with Quick Release - Supports 5.6 lb (#3229):

This head does what it's supposed to and does it well. For the price, it's a bargain. I've wedged my monopod between some rocks and had the camera hanging out there aimed just where I wanted it without a worry. This is not a lightweight head though. If you will be hiking the High Sierra, you might want a lighter one.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3229 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head with Quick Release - Supports 5.6 lb (#3229):

Very happy with the quality while mounted on my Manfrotto monopod. I welcome the feature of the quick release while using the monopod.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3229 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head with Quick Release - Supports 5.6 lb (#3229):

Works great with my Canon Digital SLR.
It has the rugged feel and required tension for
quick setups. The quick release is ideal
for on the fly portraits that need
longer exposures.

I use this frequently with my Canon 400/f5.6L lens + 1.4 extender on a monopod when out hiking and doing bird photography. Allows quick and easy adjustment. I tried using my ballhead but this is so much better.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3229 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head with Quick Release - Supports 5.6 lb (#3229):

Great product. But having used it for a while now, if I had it to do over, I think I would go with a ball mount that would give me total motion range.
