This Manfrotto XPRO 3-Way Pan-Tilt Head with Quick Release Platesfrom Manfrotto XPRO 3-Way Pan-Tilt Head with Quick Release Plateshas a load capacity of 26.5 lb and can be attached to tripods or other support systems that feature a 3/8"-16 mount. It includes an integrated RC2 quick release cam lock and a 200PL-14 Quick Release Plate. RC2 compatible quick release plates such as the 200PL-14 can be removed from the head by pulling the cam lock's spring-loaded lever, which also allows the plate to be quickly reattached. The cam lock also features a safety catch to prevent the 200PL-14, or another compatible quick release plate from accidentally disconnecting.

Cameras, sport optics, or camcorders that are compatible with a 1/4"-20 mount can be connected to the quick release plate before securing it to the pan-and-tilt head. The head can be rotated 360°, tilted 90° forwards or 30° backwards, as well as 90° sideways for portrait orientation. Each of these three movements function independently of each other, have dedicated control handles, and can be locked into place. In addition to integrating the ability to individually lock the movements by twisting each corresponding handle's rubberized grip, the telescoping control handles for both tilt functions can also be retracted while the head is not in use for more convenient storage or transport.

To promote fast and repeatable device positioning, this XPRO 3-Way, Pan-and-Tilt Head also includes a dedicated angle scale for rotational movements that is designed for easy visibility, as well as dedicated control knobs set under the telescoping control handles that can each be rotated to apply tension control to either the backwards and forwards, or sideways tilt movements at any time.

Q: 1. I have a Manfrotto 190 Go! aluminum tripod. Is it compatible with it and how easy is it to replace the current Manfrotto head I have on?

A: Yes it is. In fact, I purchased this specifically to use with the aluminum 190Go and it works great. Mounted perfectly.

Q: 2. Would this fit the Manfrotto MT190X3 Aluminum Tripod?

A: Hi JackI've been using this head on my 055 series tripod, without any problems.I should fit the 190 aluminium tripod without any problems. The only thing to check would be whether the tripod mounting screw for the camera is the bigger 'pro' size or the standard 1/4 . No problem though, as you can normally unscrew the bigger screw adaptor to reveal the smaller screw fitting underneath (if required).Hope this helpsCheersBrian

Q: 3. Is there an arca-Swiss adapter to convert so I can use my arca plates on it?

A: No, unfortunately not.

Q: 4. Being newer than the 808RC4, why is it cheaper than the older one ? I see it has tension/friction controls which the 808RC4 doesn't but this one is still cheaper. I ordered the 808 based on the reviews and stability concerns but now I am having second thoughts as to which would be better and should I cancel the 808RC4 and order this one. Anyone care to compare these two please ?

A: I own several Manfrotto heads. This one is my favorite. It's not the strongest or lightest of the bunch. But, it is very stable, smooth and precise. I use it with a Nikon D810 which weighs in at 5 lbs. with a long lens attached. No regrets with this purchase. I would buy it again.

Q: 5. Will this system work with my existing Really Right Stuff L bracket? Worried that the quick release system will only work with the Manfrotto plate.

A: This head only accepts an L-bracket such as the Manfrotto Q2 L Bracket, BH # MAQ2LB directly. Otherwise to use your existing RRS bracket on this head, the Kirk QR-AB1QR Universal Quick Release Adapter with Quick Release Clamp, BH # KIQRAB1QR can be used. https://bhpho.to/2XvBJFt https://bhpho.to/2J5HiXX
