Manfrotto joystick heads offer a uniquely ergonomic way of quickly unlocking, composing and locking the camera position, so you can freely and frequently get the perfect shot. The 324RC2 belongs to the latest generation of Manfrotto joystick heads. Design, features and technical specifications have all been optimized to provide the ultimate in intuitive operation, speed of use, ergonomic comfort and high precision.

Replacing the 222 head, the Manfrotto 324RC2 Joystick Head features a new type of ball joint: an innovative hollow sphere made of stainless steel. A new manufacturing technique was specifically developed to improve the lightness, accuracy and locking strength of the head. Weight reduction, improved performance and optimized ergonomics set Manfrotto joystick heads well above competitors' models and offer photographers products which are lightweight, compact and easy to carry, intuitive and easy to use, yet also extremely precise and sturdy.

The 324RC2 is built to satisfy the needs of photographers who are improving their skills. Very light, compact and easy to carry, the 324RC2's ergonomics have been tuned for comfort during use. It has an Adapto body with a stainless steel sphere. Adapto is Manfrotto's ultra-durable and lightweight technopolymer, optimized for compactness and transportability with a high-load capacity and reduced weight.

Manfrotto 324RC2 Joystick Head Key Features

Ergonomic Design With Extremely Flexible Camera Positioning

Whether you're left handed or right, whether you prefer a horizontal grip or vertical, the 324RC2 is practical and ergonomic. Customise the location of the camera plate to suit your ideal working position.

Repositionable Camera Plate For Right-Handed Or Left-Handed Use

Thanks to the repositionable camera plate, this can be used right- or left-handed. Photographers are normally forced to be right-handed by the position of the shutter release button, but the advantage of this system even to right-handed users is that you can keep one hand on the grip to control framing position and switch rapidly between portrait and landscape settings, while the other hand stays on the camera, ready to shoot even with the head in movement. Keeping both hands positioned like this gives you greater control over panning or tracking shots.

Extremely Lightweight With 7.8-Pound Load Capacity

In turn, aligning the camera close to the tripod center of gravity gives the 324RC2 an impressive 7.8-pound load capacity. The 324RC2 features a new type of ball joint: an innovative hollow sphere made of stainless steel. A new manufacturing technique was specifically developed to improve the lightness, accuracy and locking strength of the head. The 324RC2's body is made from Adapto for lightweight performance, weighing less than a pound.

Quick-Release Plate With Secondary Safety Catch Supplied

Supplied with 200PL-14 quick-release plate. The compact, rectangular 200PL-14 quick release plate system fits neatly under still cameras up to SLR (even with tele lenses) or small medium format in size, or under small video cameras or spotting scopes. Its rubber pad gives a good grip without damaging the camera, and its angled sides ensure that it also fits perfectly and tightly. This head features a secondary security lock so you can't accidentally release the plate (and camera) without meaning to. The lock stops the quick release lever from opening fully.

Single Locking Mechanism For Movement On All Axes

A convenient single locking mechanism blocks or frees movement on all axes for greater speed of use.

Precise Friction Control

A separate control for pre-setting the friction of the ball when unblocked lets you regulate the power of the blocking mechanism to match the weight of your camera/lens.

Bubble Spirit Level

The built-in, carefully hand-set bubble spirit level helps make sure your horizons really are horizontal.
