| 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful  Sturdy, light and well suited for narrow compact video cameras., By This review is from: Manfrotto 700RC2 Mini Video Head w/RC2 Rapid Connect Plate (Electronics) I bought this at BIC camera in Fukuoka, Japan. I used this unit to complement the 3130 video head which I use for larger cameras. It is well-made and well-finished. The design is slightly different from the 701RC2 in that the 700RC2 uses a spring-lift, screw-type lever knob for locking the Quick Release plate as opposed to the spring-loaded lever-type lock on the 701RC2. (The 701RC2 also has a spirit level but in a rather awkward location that is hard to see.)What do you get for the difference? The 700RC2 is slightly cheaper, slightly lighter and slightly more inconvenient when locking down the camera QR plate (which latches into place and is still released by a thumb lever). For my money, the lower price, lighter weight and tighter lock from the screw lever are better. When screwed down there is no shifting of the QR plate (which sometimes happens with the lever-lock system if you frequently move and handle the camera/tripod together or if you don't give it an...

The plate clamping screw does not interfere with the camera body because the thumb-screw wing can be very easily adjusted without tools. The action is fluid on every axis with absolutely no sticking or stuttering. The build is solid with not flimsy or substandard parts. I have 3 Manfrotto tripods and numerous heads. I would buy this product again. 19 of 23 people found the following review helpful  Below Bogen's standards! Get the 701RC2 instead!, By JanSobieski (United States of America) - See all my reviews This review is from: Manfrotto 700RC2 Mini Video Head w/RC2 Rapid Connect Plate (Electronics) I accidentally purchased this video head instead of the 701RC2. Big boo-boo! This video head is not built to the ordinary standards of Bogen. It is flimsy by comparison to the 701RC2, not as smooth and does not have an adjustable sliding base plate. Worse, the rapid connect plate is not clamped in with a lever as you would ordinarily expect but requires the screwing down of a clamp which takes longer. Adding insult to injury, the lever screw is blocked by your camera when it is on the quick release plate interfering with the securing of the video camera.This is, to say the least, a poorly thought out video head and the ONLY benefit it offers over the MUCH superior 701RC2 is this it is slightly lighter, but achieves this by sacrificing build quality and important features. Unless you have held and operating this video head and know it is precisely what you want do not risk purchasing it. Purchase instead the far superior 701RC2. |
