This thing is built like a tank and works easily. All metal construction, no cheap plastic to break, should last forever. A very nice addition to my monopod and camcorder.

Bought this to use with my monopod Manfrotto 680 COMPACT MONOPOD - Monopod and zoom lens Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG APO HSM Large Aperture Macro Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras the only problem was once everything was "attached" the camera and lens would tilt left or right. I wanted everything to tilt up or down which made handling very awkward at best.

Can't go wrong with it:
I recently bought this Monopod head that goes with the Manfrotto 694 Monopod. Amazon listed this item as an accessory to the Monopod. Both of them are made for each other as they fit well as one piece. The 234RC provides a quick release just by turning the thumb handle that lets the top plate popped out. Once the plate is in place, a side pin provides additional safety to prevent the thumb handle from turning. That's definitely a nice feature in this head. Great buy so far!
Does What it Should:
This product does what it supposed to. Easy to install and use. Smooth movement which helps when using a video camera.
