5 out of 5 stars Very nice   September 22, 2008
T. Kempf
Works great. The quick release is well designed to allow a quick release, without worrying about it falling off if you hit something (like some other heads) since it requires two actions instead of one. Very nice and stable.


5 out of 5 stars Works well with both of my monopods...   July 16, 2008
P. W. Sheehan (Puyallup, WA USA)
Bought mine a long time ago with a monopod. It's been very good and I still use it, especially since I bought a Pentax K10D (internal shake reduction) and a new monopod with quick-extend/retract action.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Head for the money   June 15, 2008
Eric D. Brown (Dallas, TX)
Great build quality and functionality. The Quick release system is excellent...the two step release function ensures that there is no way a camera/lens will accidentally come loose.

Absolutely recommended.



5 out of 5 stars Bogen-Manfrotto 3229 Swivel Tilt Head w/QR   June 4, 2008
KB USA (Connecticut)
Couldn't be more pleased with this head. I put it on my monopod and I love the lock system that allows me to carry my camera around without having to remove it constantly. It's light weight, sturdy and well built.
It feels good and safe unlike some other manufacturers. Price was a bit more than something you would buy a Best Buy or CC but the quality is well worth a few extra $$.



4 out of 5 stars sturdy but heavy   May 25, 2008

This is a very solid, reliable, moderately priced monopod head. It does the job. However, the cast metal construction is very heavy for the functionality. If you're traveling light and want a quick-release, but don't really need the tilt feature, then I recommend the much lighter weight Bogen RC2 instead:
