The Manfrotto 496RC2 Compact Ball Head delivers smooth, precise positioning with its integrated RC2 quick release cam lock and 200PL-14 Quick Release Plate. Spring-loaded lever operation enables instant plate attachment and removal, while the built-in safety catch secures your camera against accidental disconnection. Ideal for photographers seeking reliable, compact ball head performance.
The 496RC2 Compact Ball Head with 200PL-14 Quick Release Plate has a load capacity of 6kg and can be attached to tripods or other support systems that feature a 3/8"-16 mount. By loosening the 496RC2's locking knob, its ball-and-socket joint can be quickly swiveled, angled, fully tilted, or returned to its upright position. An additional knob opposite the locking knob can be rotated to apply tension control to the ball-and-socket joint's movements.
Cameras or accessories that are compatible with a 1/4"-20 mount can be connected to the 200PL-14 quick release plate, which measures 43.2 x 53.3 x 10.2mm and has a rubberized, nonslip surface.
