Best head for my monopods ever

Highly Recommended Alternative To Other Monopod Heads

By Shelley
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2022-05-17

Using with a Gitzo GM4552L monopod, Nikon Z9 and big glass, and couldn't be happier. I also own the Wimberley MH100 gimbal head, but don't use it much because I've never gotten comfortable with how it positions my camera and lens. Both heads are beautifully engineered and get the job done with excellence, but I find myself using this Pro Media Gear head much more frequently because of my comfort with the more conventional camera and lens positioning.

Can the clamp be rotated 90 degrees to accommodate camera on L-bracket?
Asked by: Alan
If you have an L-bracket, the connection mechanism is the same whether you are shooting horizontally or vertically. All you do is rotate the camera without changing anything on the monopod. Or if you are using a long lens, you just release the knob that controls the orientation of the foot relative to the lens. In other words, there is no problem.

question

Has anyone compared the Kirk MPA-2, the ProMediaGear Scepter HM1, and the Really Right Stuff MH-01 LR? All three are high-end versions of the old Manfrotto 3232 tilt head swivel. The question is: are they worth the money and which of the three is the best option?
Asked by: William E
Haven't tried the PromediaGear head, but I have used seven different tilt heads, including RRS, Sirui, Leofoto, Sunwayfoto, Hejnar photo, etc. The one I like the most is the Hejnar photo version. It has the biggest swivel arm and feels the most stable among all. The finish is as good as RRS but the price is only half of that. Made in USA too.
