Used a few times for bird photography. Easy to carry around fixed to a monopod and the camera. Provides stability (with the monopod) and enables fast camera positioning

Useful alternative to a ball head for a monopod. Fits the bill for most circumstances. Allows you to use your feet and the monopod to make a pretty stable tripod.

A basic but useful little bit of kit. Some people conplain about the lack of a quick release plate; I didn't find this an issue.

Wish I had bought the RC2, quick release plate, version

I got this free with the Manfrotto 680B Compact Monopod. I really wanted a quick release, so I just took it for the sake of it, and also got the Manfrotto 234RC Monopod Tilt Head with Quick Release. Both heads can tilt to orientate the camera in portrait, and their construction is pretty much identical (apart from the plate).

I'm using this setup mainly with a Sony 70-400G, which has a lens collar for switching to portrait mode, so I found I didn't need the monopod head to tilt in that direction. What I did need, however, was to be able to tilt up and down - the 234RC couldn't do this, unless I used the QR plate long ways, which has less contact with the bottom of my camera, so it less stable.

So, I took a Manfrotto 323 Rectangular Quick Release Plate, mounted it on the free 234 in the orientation I wanted, and now I have a vertically tilting monopod head with quick release. I'm very, very happy with this setup.
