Description:
Manfrotto 498RC2 Midi Ball Head with RC2 now comes in a bigger size, light, with quick release, perfect for advanced amateurs and professionals. With its solid aluminum construction and phenolic resin ball, the Manfrotto 498RC2 is the ideal support for all traditional or digital small or medium format cameras.
Manfrotto 498RC2 Features:
-
The new friction control knob allows the photographer to achieve superior control when handling the camera and making micro movements without having to totally lock and unlock the ball head.
-
The elliptical lines and curves recall the design of the latest launched tripods. The hollows make the head lighter.
-
The knobs have been redesigned to be more ergonomic, easier to handle and more user-friendly. The ergonomic shape allows the user to better lock the ball.
-
A smart re-positionable locking lever allows the user to place it in a comfortable position in order to use it in the most convenient way. Just pull it outwards, put it in the best working position and then release it.
-
The models featuring the quick release plate include an additional safety system that prevents the accidental detaching of the camera from the head.
-
The locking lever securely locks the head both in the ±90° ball positioning and in the 360° pan movements.
