Manfrotto MH804 3-Way, Pan-and-Tilt Head with 200LT-PL Quick Release Plate

This MH804 3-Way, Pan-and-Tilt Head from Manfrotto has a load capacity of 22 lb and can be attached to tripods or other support systems that feature a 3/8"-16 mount. It includes an integrated RC2 quick release cam lock and a 200LT-PL Quick Release Plate. RC2 compatible quick release plates such as the 200LT-PL can be removed from the head by pulling the cam lock's spring-loaded lever, which also allows the plate to be quickly reattached. The cam lock also features a safety catch to prevent the 200LT-PL, or another compatible quick release plate from accidentally disconnecting.

Cameras, sport optics, or camcorders that are compatible with a 1/4"-20 mount can be connected to the quick release plate before securing it to the pan-and-tilt head. The head can be rotated 360°, tilted 90° forwards or 30° backwards, as well as 90° sideways for portrait orientation. Each of these three movements function independently of each other, have dedicated control handles, and can be locked into place. In addition to integrating the ability to individually lock the movements by twisting each corresponding handle's rubberized grip, the telescoping control handles for both tilt functions can also be retracted while the head is not in use for more convenient storage or transport.

To promote fast, repeatable, and accurate device positioning, this MH804 3-Way, Pan-and-Tilt Head also includes dedicated angle scales for each movement that are designed for easy visibility. For heavier loads, built-in counterbalance springs help ensure smooth as well as gradual backwards and forwards tilt movements.

Manfrotto 200LT-PL Quick Release Plate

The Manfrotto 200LT-PL Quick Release Plate is ideal for quickly attaching cameras onto all compatible Manfrotto quick release assemblies equipped with an RC2/Q2 attachment and a load capacity of 8.8 lb or less. If using this plate on a head with a greater load capacity, it is recommended not to exceed 8.8 lb of gear. Thanks to its lightweight technopolymer body reinforced with extremely stiff glass fibers, the plate can stay attached to your camera without adding excessive weight or volume.

The rubber used on this product provides even greater grip than previous models, keeping the camera securely attached and reducing camera twist. The plate is easily attached to your camera by hand-tightening a D-ring, removing the need for tools.

Manfrotto MH804-3W Reviews

Very capable tripod

By Timothy J

Took advantage of a great offer during the BILD expo to pair this head with a tripod. This head is well built and durable. The controls are easy to grasp and manipulate. Pairs nicely with the tripod.

Manfrotto MH804 3-Way Head

By William
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-08-14

This 3-Way Head is versatile and compact. The adjustable handles are retractable, very sturdy and practical. The bubble level is very convenient and useful for Landscape and Architectural photography. Supports 400MM and DSLR with vertical battery grip body and holds well in adjusted position. Allows smooth panning when using DSLR for short videos. Packs well for travel. I expect this Tripod Head will last me next 15 years.

Asked by: eldad
As long as it will screw onto the tripod it will work. If it doesn't have the same tread mount, you can get an adapter collar if its a smaller tread.

How to take this head off the central tube?

How to take this head off the central tube?
Asked by: Andrey
Manfrotto tripods have grub screws (screws without traditional heads) on the underside of the base plate that the head attaches to. Usually 3 of them. These screws are backed off before the head is screwed onto the large central 3/8" mounting screw. Once the head is screwed down as tight as possible these 3 grub screws are screwed in/up so that they press against the bottom of the tripod head. This is to keep the head from slipping lose and unscrewing itself. So, when you go to take the head off be sure to back these screws back a few turns so they are not gripping the head above. This will usually do it. Sometimes if a head has been on for a long time it will be hard to unscrew even with the grub screws backed off. Sometimes a judicious whack with a rubber mallet is just the thing.
