Take the versatility of a ball head, add true ergonomic control and you get the 322RC2 Horizontal Grip Action Ballhead!

The 322RC2 is unique in that it allows you to unblock, move, position and lock your camera with one hand in one position. This is due to the revolutionary design of its grip handle which incorporates the ball lock lever.

A friction control wheel lets you regulate the power of the blocking mechanism to match the weight of your camera and lens. The 322RC2 is made from magnesium for lightweight performance, and is designed to keep the weight of your equipment as close as possible to the tripod's center of gravity by way of its reduced height. It is this fact, matched with the precision construction of the 322RC2 that gives the head its load capacity of 11 lbs (5.5lb capacity when in the vertical position).

The 322RC2 comes complete with a built-in bubble spirit level and quick release camera plate (standard 1/4 - 20" screw, with secondary safety pin).

The 322RC2 is suitable for use with 35mm or medium format cameras. In addition, you can also mount the 322RS shutter release accessory. The 322RS is a world's first. With its remote control electronic camera shutter release, the 322RC2 becomes the only photographic head available today that can put camera control within reach without having to move your hand from the head grip to the camera body.

Zoe U. ★★★★★

Switching from a traditional ball head to this grip action design has made framing shots so much quicker. The ergonomic control lets me lock in the angle with one smooth squeeze, which is perfect for wildlife photography.

Adam B. ★★★★★

The grip action mechanism is a game-changer for quick adjustments; I can unblock, reposition, and lock the head with one hand in seconds. It’s noticeably smoother than my old ball head, and the ergonomic control makes fine-tuning composition feel effortless during a shoot.

Olivia W. ★★★★★

I can finally switch between vertical and horizontal shots in seconds without tightening anything—the grip handle just works. It’s also surprisingly sturdy with my heavy DSLR, and the quick-release plate slides right in without fiddling.
