Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 391RC2 Pan & Tilt Head with RC2 Quick Release - Supports 11.00 lb:

I paired this with my 190CXPRO4 tripod. I chose this head because I wanted to take stills and shoot video with my D-SLR. It offers plenty of motion for smooth panning and you can adjust the friction control. The lateral tilt goes 90 degrees to the left and 60 degrees to the right. I was debating between this and a Manfrotto ball head. The ball head will give you more control at ease but the 391RC2 offers the best of both worlds for video + photo. The bar handle is easy to grasp. Overall, the quality is good and the price is right.

Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 391RC2 Pan & Tilt Head with RC2 Quick Release - Supports 11.00 lb:

I purchased this head for my daughter to use with her Nikon D40. We mounted it on a Manfrotto 190XB, and it provides decent enough stability.

I was disappointed to see that some parts, including the clamp that holds the quick release are made of plastic. There is also not a secondary mechanism to secure the quick release clamp.

I suppose this is fine for a camera as light as the D40, but I have to wonder about the durability after a few years.

The head functions smoothly and locks things in place securely.
