Bogen/Manfrotto 329RC4 Compact Three-Way Head

Nice Compact Design. Very smooth operation in panning and tilting. Has spirit levels integrated into the body so you can level things out. Quick release is very handy. What swayed me in purchasing this model is that you can disassemble it by removing the pan/tilt handles and it folds up more compactly than other models. Bogen really has a nice product here. I suggest giving the joints a little oil once in a while to keep things moving smoothly.

Compact. Build quality is high. Price is reasonable.

Sometimes I get the handles mixed up when I try to reassemble. Is this my fault or Bogen's?

Various Bogen geared heads and pan/tilt heads.

Not needed.
