        Comments about Manfrotto 494RC2 Mini Ball Head:

        I wanted a ball head for it's simplicity after struggling with a 3-way design and I'm really glad I did. I went for the smallest, lightest model I could find in the Manfrotto range to go with my Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 carbon tripod. It easily carries a Pentax K7 DSLR with 55-300mm lens and is very quick to adjust, even in the dark, as I found out last weekend at a fireworks display.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
