Manfrotto 222
Grip Action Ball Head (with RC2 Rapid Connect Plate)

222

Manfrotto's 222 grip action ball head allows you to grip the handle and position your camera anywhere within a 180° sphere.  Supplied with the 200PL quick release camera plate with secondary safety lock, built-in bubble level and tension adjustment. Made of cast aluminium. Ideal for 35mm cameras with short or medium focal length lenses.

Features:

• The built-in, carefully hand-set bubble spirit level helps make sure your horizons really are horizontal.
• Separate control for pre-setting the friction of the ball when unblocked.  The position of the red line indicates the approximate amount of friction applied.
• The compact, rectangular 200PL quick release plate system fits neatly under small-bodied still cameras up to SLR (even with tele lenses) or small medium format, or under small video cameras or spotting scopes.  Its rubber pad gives a good grip without damaging the camera, and its angled sides ensure that it also fits perfectly and tightly into a wide range of Manfrotto heads
• This head features a secondary security lock so you can't accidentally release the plate (and camera) without meaning to. The lock stops the quick release lever from opening fully
• A convenient single locking mechanism blocks or frees movement on all axes for greater speed of use
• Sturdy all-metal construction
• Ergonomic and easy to use
