I recently purchased the Manfrotto 327RC2 and found that it wasn't strong enough to support my Canon 7D Mk II with canon 100-400L IS ii lens attached. Late at night after a beer or two I splurged on the 468MGRC2.

I use this in conjunction with my Manfrotto carbon befree tripod - together, they are very compact and lightweight.

Unbelievable strength for it's size. Have used with my Nikon D5 and 600mm.. no problem

I went with this model to be compatible with my peak design clips and also to overcome frustration I had with other type mounts like the pan tilt and quick release type. This is my first ball head mount and I have to say I wonder why it took me so long to switch.

I have a gimbal head but needed a smaller more light weight head for travel and a photographer I know owns this and recommended it to me. This Manfrotto ball head was well worth the investment. This is the second Manfrotto ball head I purchased.

Being a small person with not the strongest hands, I was looking for a ball head that would support a lot of weight and not require much strength to tighten. I thought the hydrostatic feature would make things much easier, but didn't find that to be the case.

Solid head with tight grip and no slack. I needed an additional head after getting 2 more Manfrotto tripods to hold heavier medium format cameras. I took the bigger head off my smaller tripod and transferred it to the new one. Then I needewd a new head for the old one.

works perfect on my Manfrotto tripod with RC2 Quick Release

One of my long time pet peeves in a ball head is having to fiddle with with to get the right combination of flexibility and stability. What is great about this one is that it can hold anything and the adjustment from loose to lock down is very simple to do, especially with only one hand.
