p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · monopod tilt head with arca quick release


Any recommendations for a reasonably affordable combination? It's not often that I feel I need a tilt head, but my wife wants stuff for holiday gift ideas. It's probably not a good idea to expose her to lens prices, so this is the next best thing.

Thanks.

I've been using an RRS MH-01 since August 2008, with great satisfaction.

I'm using the Kirk MPA-2 head. The thing I really like about it is the tilt/tension knob. Depending on the weight load, it can take as little as 1/4 turm to lock down or more is the load is substantial.

I have the MH-01, but with the normal knob.

i bought these for a friend as a combo unit to mimic my rrs mh-02 monopod head......tilt head with easy or instant rotational capability for about 1/2 the rrs mh-02 price w\o sacrificing quality...so many times you spend 1/2 and get pretty much junk in return for your cash layout..not so here.....if you have nice disposable income then the rrs head mh-02 is the way to go...good luck which ever path you take

If you want a panning base, I can recommend the Feisol PB-70 ($39). I use it with an AcraTech leveling base for horizontal panos.

I like the Sirui L-10 for its economy, the Kirk for its versatility and the RRS for its range and design. I'm not sure I need a panning base, but thanks for the link. The Feisol looks great, I added it to my wish list just in case.

Good recommendations, thanks!
