Product Features
The Bogen/Manfrotto 222 Grip Action Ballhead is fast to set up and an easy to use tripod head. The very act of taking your hand away from the grip locks the head into position, which eliminates the extra step of having to tighten a knob or lever before being ready to shoot. You have immediate access to half of a sphere in which to position your camera. The tension of the ball can be adjusted to accommodate the load weight. It is not for continuous tracking of moving subjects, because you must always grip the lever to release the ball and thus your hand would tire after prolonged use. In the vertical mode of horizontal-format cameras, it is limited to only 5.5 pounds. But for 6X6cm format shooters or 35mm up to an 80-200mm f/2.8 lens, it exceeds all others in expedience. An ideal head for wedding or portrait photographers. Technical DetailsFull product specification can be found on the manufacturer site here. |

Matt: I used this today. I fell completely in love with it. It 's just like using the old arcade hand grips. Smooth action, and the handle requires enough of a squeeze to know you're using it, but not too much. Minor adjustments are quick and easy. I would rent this again.
