Manfrotto 486RC2 Compact Ball Head Key Features

RC2 Quick Release Camera Plate System

The 486RC2 is equipped with the compact, rectangular 200PL-14 quick release plate system. The 200PL-14 fits neatly under small-bodied still cameras up to SLR (even with tele lenses) or small medium format, or under small video cameras or spotting scopes. Its rubber pad gives a good grip without damaging the camera. This plate features a secondary security lock so you can't accidentally release the plate (and camera). The lock stops the quick release lever from opening fully.

The 200PL-14 camera plate makes this head most suitable for SLR camera systems. Camera attachment has 1/4-inch male thread. Head to tripod attachment is 3/8-inch female.
