It includes an integrated RC4 quick release cam lock and a 410PL Quick Release Plate. RC4 compatible quick release plates such as the 410PL can removed from the head by pulling the cam lock's spring-loaded lever, which also allows the plate to be instantly reattached.

Cameras or accessories that are compatible with a 1/4"-20 or 3/8-16" mount can be connected to the 410PL Quick Release Plate, which measures 2.5 x 3.3 x 0.5" and has a rubberized, non-slip surface. 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 and have individual, snap-lock knobs with easy-to-turn, 4-star grips. Turning each snap-lock knob allows the corresponding movement to be rapidly adjusted, and once the knob is released, the adjustment is locked into place. An additional, rubberized knob set within each snap-lock knob allows incremental, geared adjustments, which help to ensure that any device mounted to this 410 3-Way, Geared Pan-and-Tilt Head is precisely positioned relative to the subject.

To further promote fast and repeatable device positioning, this 410 3-Way, Geared Pan-and-Tilt Head also includes dedicated angle scales for each movement that are designed for easy visibility.

Q: 1. Will this work with the Magnus Rex vt4000 tripod which has a 3/8''-16 base but uses a 65mm bowl?

A: No. i'm sorry, it is not compatible.

Q: 2. Is this compatible with Really Right Stuff L plates?

A: Yes they are. However you need to adapt them with a custom plate make by a guy in midwest Hejnar Photo. I use this 410 head with his adapter (consists of a base replacement and an Arca Swiss clamp). The Hejnar adapter turns this good 410 head into world class pan tilt head.

Q: 3. I have a Manfrotto 290, will this head work on it?

A: yes

Q: 4. can this head be mounted with a 1/4 - 20 screw?

A: This head has a 3/6 x16 threaded receiver in the bottom. To use a 1/4 x 20 you will need in insert adapter. I use this head for product and macro photography, and it is awesome!

Q: 5. Which Manfrotto L-bracket will work with this head?

Q: 6. can I put a rc2 plate on the 410 junior

A: The Manfrotto 410 Junior Geared Head uses the RC4 quick release system and will not be compatible with an RC2 plate. You want the Manfrotto 410PL Quick Release Plate: http://bhpho.to/1pgGRTz

Q: 7. What are the recommended sticks for the 410 jr? Thanks

A: I purchased mine as a kit which included the 055XPROB (I think now discontinued.)The right legs would depend on whether you want carbon or aluminum, how tall you want to get, how portable, etc. I wanted to get the camera able to look up from a full standing position, so overall height was important to me. The legs I choose are longer and heavier than some other options, but portability wasn't important to me. I use some heavy lenses, macro, and astroimaging, so I like stability and precise adjustment.By the way, B&H are currently offering the 405 in conjunction with carbon legs and some accessories. May be a good option too.

Q: 8. Can this head be attached to the new manfrotto mt190xproe tripod?

A: Yes, both will have the standard 3/8-16 mount.

Q: 9. Does this let you slowly move via the knobs, like the larger GEARED HEAD units with control wheels, or is this a Move, then tighten and lock down thing? If it moves, could one fabricate their own wheels for it?

A: Hi Greg,I haven't used the larger geared head you are referring to but it does maneuver in that fashion. You used the knobs to slowly adjust the camera either vertically, horizontal and tilt angles. The star looking piece next to the knobs allows for a fast adjustment. I use this first to possition the camera, then use the knobs to adjust and balance the camera out.I had a used to own a ball head mount until it lost its grip and just dropped my Nikon to ground. I got this as a replacement and I couldn't be happier.

Q: 10. Can you release an axis and move it freely, or all all movements made by the geared knobs?

A: You can release the axis and move it freely, but you cannot unlock it permanently.By rotating the larger dial, you can turn the head on that axis, but you have to keep the dial turned in order for the axis to be unlocked, if that makes sense?I would really have liked the option to manually unlock the axis in a more permanent fashion.
