Customer Reviews
Well constructed for price
First off I hesitated to purchase this item with its weight limitation. It was recommended by Really Right Stuff (those in the know are familiar with their quality photo mounts) as part of their mono pod solution. At first glance from the pictures it appears to be made of plastic. It is not! It is made from cast aluminum and very sturdy. I don't believe you would risk it braking off and dropping your camera if you exceeded the weight recommendation. I figure the thumb screw will not hold its vertical position if over weighted though. It works great with my Gitzo GM5540 Mono pod!
cheap, but limited
If all you want is a tilting head for your monopod, then this product is a good buy. For slightly more money, you should also consider the Bogen 3229 head which is similar to the 3232, but with a built-in quick release plate. To many people, the quick-release feature is even more important than the tilt feature.
Made my Manfrotto/Bogen 3216 monopod useful
Simple and sturdy construction. Worked well on my last vacation for both my SLR (6 lbs!) and my camcorder. I originally bought my monopod because I thought it would be more portable than a bulky tripod. Sadly, I found without a head, a monopd isn't very useful unless I am shooting something at eye-level. Now I can tilt in horizontal or vertical positions, and it adds stability when shooting with 300mm lens. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.
