Review on Manfrotto 322RC2 Grip Action Ball Head with Two ZAYKiR Quick Release Plates by William Rothstein

This thing is amazing. I've used it with all my cameras, but the performance with my 8+lb medium format camera is what really sets it apart. With the grip in the left horizontal configuration (not in joystick mode) it holds my multipurpose camera steady as a rock in both landscape and (surprisingly) portrait modes, with all 8+ pounds of the camera supported over a tripod. centerline. This thing is held like a vise, but the effort to unlock it doesn't require as strong a grip. Truly an outstanding design. If you're on the fence, jump (buy it)!
