 Quick release dangerous November 10, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I read a review by a reader like yourself who said the relase was something that could pop open, and it did to him and his camera was smashed on the street. figured this guy might be a moron considering the other reviews, well I guess I am a moron also becuase it also happened to me, $4500 lesson. Dont settle for quick release, that just begs for a problem....my strap caught the turn lever and off went the camera...don't know what was worse, loosing the camera or the shoot that day....either way I will never ever buy a quick release anything ever again....this product gets a 1, only becuase this survey wont allow it to be left at 0.
 Very nice September 22, 2008
Works great. The quick release is well designed to allow a quick release, without worrying about it falling off if you hit something (like some other heads) since it requires two actions instead of one. Very nice and stable.
Works well with both of my monopods... July 16, 2008
Bought mine a long time ago with a monopod. It's been very good and I still use it, especially since I bought a Pentax K10D (internal shake reduction) and a new monopod with quick-extend/retract action.
Excellent Head for the money June 15, 2008
Great build quality and functionality. The Quick release system is excellent...the two step release function ensures that there is no way a camera/lens will accidentally come loose.
Absolutely recommended.
Bogen-Manfrotto 3229 Swivel Tilt Head w/QR June 4, 2008
Couldn't be more pleased with this head. I put it on my monopod and I love the lock system that allows me to carry my camera around without having to remove it constantly. It's light weight, sturdy and well built.
It feels good and safe unlike some other manufacturers. Price was a bit more than something you would buy a Best Buy or CC but the quality is well worth a few extra $$.
