 Excellent ProductOct 17, 2007
By Marcus Panek

Yes, a bit pricey and a bit heavy... but that is what you need to support a heavier camera. I combined this with Bogen-Manfrotto 3021BN Classic Tripod (legs). The head is well built, and I especially like the resistance feature that it has in connection with the two main knobs. The resistance can also be turned off for each of the knobs. I don't anticipate ever having to replace either the legs or the head, due to sturdy construction.

Great Quality, Not-for Traveling LightlyMay 28, 2009

Great product for occasional use with heavier cameras and lenses, wouldn't recommend for traveling with frequently.

Old school tripod headJan 04, 2010
By Jeffrey D. Hansen
"turnforfun"
Much like the 055XPROB tripod I bought with it this head is also very heavy duty. Outside of its weight there isn't anything I've found not to like. It is old school in the sense that you have three levers to control the motion instead of the newer ball heads. I have loaded on my Nikon D80, a 70-300mm lens and a SB-600 flash and it is not stressed at all. Some people have complained about the quick release but I have not found it to be a problem. You just need to pull the release trigger before you try to engage it. Probably could be improved but I wouldn't let it stop you if you like this style of release mechanism.

Awesome Product!Aug 11, 2010
By KayLP87
I love this tripod head! I just upgraded from a cheap-o tripod with a built in head and I must say spending some extra money to buy a quality product is worth it. Very easy to loosen and tighten the head to swivle or change the angle. I love it! I love how there is a level at every angle as well, deffinetly a must have for horizon shots.

My go to panhead with lenses 400mm and longer.Jul 25, 2010
By Boomer Depp
I bought my first 808rc4 quite some time ago.I have since picked up two more and six of the Manfrotto 394 RC4 low profile quick release with the Manfrotto 410PL quick release plates for ease of use compatibility with all my tripod heads.I also use the Kirk BH-1 and the Arca-Swiss B-1 ballheads with the Manfrotto 394 RC4,but my go to heads for long lenses over 300-400 are the Manfrotto 808rc4 panhead or the Wimberley WH-200 II gimbal head.
This is the best panhead that I've used in all my years of photography.If you want a solid panhead for long lens use,macro photography,landscapes or portrait work,this panhead is highly recommended.
BTW...I haven't had any of the problems with the quick release as stated in other reviews here on Amazon.In fact I find the quick release quite simple to use.
A video review below of the Manfrotto 394 RC4 showing the ease of use and the solidness of the Manfrotto 410PL Quick Release Plate.
