Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3232 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head - Supports 5.6 lb (#3232):

Using this with a monopod. I reversed the screw and added a Markins quick shoe to the top so I could leave my Markins plates on my bodies (I also favor the locking pin on the Markins plates). Depending on how you orient the shoe to the head, you can either tilt up and down, or use the camera horizontally (portrait orientation). Adding a shoe is not technically necessary, but it was my preference.

Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3232 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head - Supports 5.6 lb (#3232):

Greatly improves usefulness of monopod. Mine is mated to an Arca style clamp. Thumb wheel would be better replaced by a wing nut or gadget that would allow more positive tightening.

Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3232 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head - Supports 5.6 lb (#3232):

Think about it--for a monopod you need a stable, solid monopod head. Mostly for landscape and portrait shots using the monopod. Talk about a cheap solution, this is it! You don't need a fancy ball head. This is a simple, solid, well made head for monopods, ---works for me!

Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3232 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head - Supports 5.6 lb (#3232):

This is a very good, inexpensive addition to a monopod. The tilt head greatly improves the useful range of motion of the monopod. However, there is no improvement over connection to the camera as there is no quick release. Overall, this will be a great asset for action and remote location photography!

Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3232 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head - Supports 5.6 lb (#3232):

I bought this monopod head for my Bogen-Manfrotto monopod and to mount a quick-release clamp. Instead of using the swivel to be able to switch from portrait to landscape mode, I use an "L" camera bracket, using the swivel to allow different angles when shooting upward or downward. The unit is very solid and clamps firmly. I recommend tightening the base of the monopod head to the monopod top using set screws driven upward, omitting the chance of it loostening.

Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3232 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head - Supports 5.6 lb (#3232):

In typical Manfrotto/Bogen fashion, it's excessively heavy for its size. When is this company going to realize that weight has become a significant factor in this carbon fiber era? Even their CF monopods feel top heavy WITHOUT the head! However, if you use Arca-Swiss type plates on your lenses, then I suggest taking a look at Kirk's MPA-1. It's the same 3232 head with a Kirk QR plate pre-installed, completely eliminating the wandering lens syndrome (Something that the useless standard locking ring fails to achieve).

Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 3232 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head - Supports 5.6 lb (#3232):

Works fairly well for what it is. The clamp wheel is awkward to use. Not quick to adjust from horizontal to vertical. But it does stabilize my 30D with battery grip and 70-200mm lens and takes the weight off of my shoulders.
