468MG Series
Hydrostatic Ball Heads
The 468MG Hydrostatic Ball Head range
features an unmatched advanced friction and
locking mechanism. Just a slight turn of the
locking knob applies enough pressure to
firmly hold the camera. When it’s time to
move the camera, it’s just as easy to unlock,
and with adjustable friction set, your camera
will never get away from you.
These heads incorporate an advanced ball
locking mechanism using hydrostatic action.
Based on principles of modern hydraulics
where force that is applied at one point is
transmitted to another point using an
incompressible fluid, the locking process is
improved using a special liquid inserted in
the internal chamber. When pressure is
applied, the liquid blocks the movement of
the ball. Because the force exerted by the liquid
is more constant and evenly distributed,
locking power is dramatically improved.
The camera and head move in unison with
no headway effect during the locking phase.
The heads also have a calibrated, adjustable
tension control allowing the ball tension to
be preset for various camera weights.
In addition, they each feature an independent
pan and tilt lock with 360° pan movement
and ±90° tilt movement. The body of each
head is constructed in magnesium die casting
with a 2˝ Teflon coated aluminum ball,
enabling smoother camera movements.

490 Maxi Ball Head
The top of Manfrotto’s ball head line, the 490 is
made in die-cast aluminum with a precision phe-
nol resin ball. Separate locks on 360° pan and
±90° tilt movements, with an additional friction
control on the ball movement, gives just the right
resistance and smoothness with minimum effort,
even when varying weights of equipment. The
490 attaches to the camera via a 2˝ platform with
a combined 1/4-20˝ and 3/8˝ male thread.
Maximum load is 26.4 lbs.

dle and you can position your camera anywhere

release assembly, camera plate with secondary
safety catch, built-in bubble level and tension
adjustment. Made of cast aluminum, this head is

322RC2 Horizontal
Grip Action Ball Head
Take the versatility of a ball head, add true
ergonomic control and you get the 322RC2. The
revolutionary design of the 322RC2 allows you to
unblock, move, position and lock your camera
with one hand in one position. A friction control
wheel lets you regulate the power of the blocking
mechanism to match the weight of your camera
and lens. The 322RC2 is made from magnesium
for lightweight performance, and is designed to
keep the weight of your equipment as close as
possible to the tripod's center of gravity by way of
its reduced height. Includes a built-in bubble
spirit level and quick release camera plate (1/4 -
20˝ screw, with secondary safety pin). Load
capacity is 11 lbs (5.5 lbs in the vertical position).
In addition, mount the 322RS remote control
electronic camera shutter release, and the 322RC2
puts camera control within reach without having
to move your hand from the head grip to the
camera body.
