Digital camera reviews of Manfrotto 804RC2 Basic Pan Tilt Head with Quick Release Plate 200PL-14 - Replaces 3047 (Black)

Digital camera Review: A junker - no bearings
Summary: 1 Stars

Don't buy this Man 804RC2 unless you try it first with your gear to be sure it does what you want (i.e., don't buy on name or photo alone). All the bearings are dry plastic-on-plastic. I needed this to hold my high optical-powered gear steady and to get there smoothly and easily. Instead, every movement is jerk, jerk, jerk -- oversteer, jerk, jerk, -- understeer, -- jerk, jerk ...same. Almost better to handhold your gear and rest it on a tree. I finally resorted to spraying WD-40 in the joints and it actually improved things a bit. Total waste of money and time. I can't imagine what use they had in mind or what customer would find this acceptable. It's just a complicated-looking toy pan and tilt head.

Summary of Manfrotto 804RC2 Basic Pan Tilt Head with Quick Release Plate 200PL-14 - Replaces 3047 (Black)

This 3-way photo head is constructed from ultra-durable and lightweight technical polymer and easily withstands the daily rigors of the professional photographer. A unique spring feature has been added to the 804RC2 to assist in the tilt motion of the head to compensate for heavier, off-center loads. Ergonomic and newly designed handles fit comfortably in the hands, while the standard quick release plate fits snugly in the low-profile receiver. This Manfrotto 804RC2 replaces the Manfrotto 3047.
