Q: 1. Has anyone compared the Kirk MPA-2, the ProMediaGear Scepter HM1, and the Really Right Stuff MH-01 LR? All three are high-end versions of the old Manfrotto 3232 tilt head swivel. The question is: are they worth the money and which of the three is the best option?

A: I can't compare the three heads, but I use the Really Right Stuff head (with the Arca Swiss plate). I use this head paired to a Gitzo monopod when shooting wildlife from the deck of of a ship. It worked very well this year shooting in both Baja and the Arctic, and easily supported a heavy telephoto lens. The Really Right Stuff head is a bit over priced (as most of their gear is), but it is well made and should last for years.

Q: 2. I would like to know if this monopod head will screw onto the Platypus Max? Thanks

A: It has 3/8"-16 Socket , you would need a reducer bushing Oben 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 Reducer Bushing B&H # OB1039

Q: 3. Is it better to use this monopod head on a monopod vs. a ballhead? If so, why?

A: That would simply be personal preference. As a monopod is a single-leg support that can be tilted and rotated in you non-shooting hand, you can use a tilt head to tilt the camera up and down while using your non-shooting hand to pivot and further tilt the monopod itself and go through a wider range of camera positions. Due to the ball head's ability to itself move in a wide range of positions, using a ball head would require less movement of the monopod with your non-shooting hand compared to using a tilt head. It also depends on what you are photographing. If you are photographing something with predictable movement, a tilt head would be more than fine for your usage. If your subject is more erratic (such as a runner or following birds in flight and on the ground), while you can achieve the movement with a tilt head, a ball head may require less movement.​

Q: 4. re: The indexed quick release clamp is oriented for horizontal left to right camera tilting but you can change the orientation to vertical fore and aft lens tilting by turning the clamp 90 degrees using the supplied hex key. I believe this copy applies to a less expensive RRS monopod head. It appears that the top platform / clamp of this monopod head can be quickly reoriented without tools using a thumb screw. Can B&H confirm?

A: There are three versions of the RRS monopod head: 1) Standard Screw Knob Clamp; 2) Standard Lever-Release Clamp; and, 3) Indexing Lever-Release Clamp. The two standard versions require a hex key to reorient the clamp whereas the indexing version and be reoriented without tools.

Q: 5. the standard release clamp is a RRS B2-LR-II 60mm lever-release clamp (according to RRS website). I already own that clamp and would like to buy the ballhead without a clamp. I'm assuming that I'd need a Flat-Head 1/4"-20 x 3/4" Clamp Mounting Screw but nothing else to use the clamp I already own. Is that correct?

A: The Really Right Stuff Monopod Head with no Quick Release Installed includes a Flat-Head 1/4"-20 x 3/4" Clamp Mounting Screw (Installed). That is all you would need to install a compatible QR clamp.

Q: 6. What are the weight and dimensions of the head alone?

A: The weight of the Leofoto MPG-01 Side Mount Monopod Head is 325 gm and the dimensions are 106 mm X 63 mm X 80 mm.

Q: 7. What is the ball size?

Q: 9. Will this fit the mefoto walk about monopod?

A: Really Right Stuff Monopod Head with Indexing Lever-Release Clamp BH #REMH02LR will not directly fit the MeFOTO WalkAbout Aluminum Monopod so you will need a 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 Reducer Bushing.
