Separately locked movements on three axes make the Manfrotto 056 3-D Head perfect for 35mm cameras, and the conical self-adjusting bearing surfaces on the tilt pivots provide more than enough strength to support medium format cameras. Thumb screw movement locks won't poke you in the eye like conventional handles sometimes do.

Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging Super Clamp with 056 3-D Junior Head:
I use several of these to mount consumer miniDV camcorders in race cars and the cameras simply don't move under normal use. They're so sturdy that when a car took a hard hit on the right rear into the wall the camera only shifted a fraction of an inch.
Good: Very strong and solid. Articulates to a wide variety of positions for flexibility in mounting. Padded clamp does not mar surface it's mounted to.
Not so good: Kinda heavy. Cannot move a camera into every position one might want, but one would be hard pressed to find a more solid and flexible mount.
Highly recommended for this use.

Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging Super Clamp with 056 3-D Junior Head:
I own and publish a quarterly tattoo trade journal and each issue comes with videos of artists working. Therefore each issue we film several hours and the inherent limitations of working with tripods forced me to try to find something with more capabilities in tight areas.
I have since bought 4 of these set-ups and turned many other people on to the wide range of possibilities they present.
I cannot recommend them enough.
