The 3-D Pro Head is finely machined for greater positioning with smooth, certain action. Three built-in spirit levels allow horizontal and vertical control. The head features a quick-release camera plate with a secondary safety catch for added security. A 3/8" screw camera attachment is included.
This unique head offers precise geared movement in three directions. Use the fold-away rotating handles for pan and tilt. A separated handle allows side-to-side levelling. In addition, the tension holding the round, quick-release plate can be released to allow fine adjustment with complete safety. Designed to mount on either studio column stands or larger tripods, this geared head for medium and large format cameras provides the ultimate in fine adjustment and control to achieve the exact framing required. Three 1/4" screws for camera attachment included.
Designed to carry a maximum capacity of up to 12 lbs, the G2271M is made of high quality low weight magnesium and features an advanced built-in fluid system for smoother pan and tilts. The G2271 is not only ideal for photographic use, but also birdwatching and mini DV cameras. Unlike the G2270M, the G2271M comes with a fixed shorter plate. The G2271M also includes multiple spirit levels to ensure that the head is perfectly level, while the ergonomically designed pan and tilt handles feature easy-to-use triangular shaped rubber grips. For more convenience, the tilt handles can be positioned on either the left or the right hand side of the head. The G2271 plate has "anti rotation" pins to ensure the camera will remain perfectly stable when shooting in portrait mode. These anti-rotation pins are stored in pre-drilled holes under the head when not in use. Complimenting this is a redesigned large hexagonal thumbscrew on the bottom of the camera locking screw which now makes it easier than ever to attach and remove equipment to the head.
The X-PRO 3-Way Head is Manfrotto’s most compact, precise and reliable 3-way photographic head. The compact closed size that makes the X-PRO so easy to pack and carry is down to its retractable levers that can be extended when needed. With the levers retracted and folded for transport, the space occupied by the head is only 13cm x 13.5cm x 13.5cm (5.1” x 5.3” x 5.3”). Friction controls on the X-PRO 3-Way Head’s tilt and portrait axes help balance the weight of camera equipment so that fine framing adjustments can be made with the locking knobs open, only locking everything down once everything’s ready. And with 3 leveling bubbles on the head, composition can be levelled precisely in-camera, reducing post production work. Sturdily built with a rugged aluminium body for reliability and durability, the X-PRO supports up to 8kg (17.6 lbs), but weighs only 1kg (2.2 lbs).
Manfrotto 804RC2 Mark II 3-Way Head - MH804-3W 3-way photo head constructed of ultra durable and lightweight technical polymer, the new 804 is now even compact thanks to the new retractable levers, with ergonomics handle provided with rubber. The new patented 804 has a unique spring feature to assist in the tilt motion of the head to compensate for heavier, off-centre loads. Moreover the standard quick release plate fits snugly in the low-profile receiver.
Solid aluminium construction provides great stability for heavier loads, whilst counterbalance springs in both the vertical and horizontal tilt axes allow smooth and precise camera positioning.Features: Counterbalance springs aid camera positioning. 400 system quick release plate is ideal for larger cameras Dual axis bubble levels Max Weight capacity 8kg
A three-way photo head specifically designed to maximize compactness and transportability, while also allowing accurate, precise framing and solid support of medium-heavy camera equipment. A unique mechanism allows the handles to be 'folded' when the head is not in use. With the handles folded and running parallel, the head's dimensions are dramatically reduced, so it takes up less space when packed, and is easier and less cumbersome to carry. The body is made from Adapto, a special lightweight polymer which cuts down the weight of the head, yet offers high mechanical resistance for sturdy support. The head has three levelling bubbles (on for each axis of rotation) which make it easier and faster to get straight, well-framed images in-camera, thereby saving time in post-production. The head's quick release system allows the camera to be attached (or detached) safely in a second, so you're always ready to shoot.

The G2380 fluid head is specifically designed for the new range of lightweight and compact camcorders used by advanced enthusiasts and professionals. Some specific features also make this head the ideal tool for photographers and bird watchers using long focal length lenses. First, pan and tilt locks and separate friction controls are positioned on the same side for ergonomic, fast and precise action. Second, the pan lock is based on a unique system that completely eliminates any unwanted movement at the moment of locking, making the G2380 ideal when exceptional targeting precision over very long distances is needed.
The G1570M low profile head, is made of ultra light magnesium. The distance from the top of the tripod to the camera platform is reduced in order to ensure that the camera's centre of gravity is kept over the middle of the tripod to avoid the possibility of overbalancing.
