Really Right Stuff MH-02 LR Reviews

Really Right Stuff is Reeeally Good!

By Doug

Date: 2024-12-11

I purchased the Really Right Stuff Monopod Head to top off my Gitzo monopod. I was looking for a tilt head to mount a long-range camera lens to the monopod in the hopes that it would enable better targeting of wildlife. This product is very well built and easy to clamp to dovetail plates. The tilt positioning brake system stays in place while on the go as you make your way through uneven terrain tracking wildlife. It's been a great addition to my camera stabilization gear.

Defective Product?

I have the same issue as the previous reviewer. The rotating clamp on this monopod head simply does not rotate. No instructions included in the box, but I did find some instructions (and a video) on the Internet. The head simply does not work as advertised.

Do you have a recommended storage bag for the Really Right Stuff MH-02 LR? My MH-01 came with a matching storage bag.
Asked by: James C.
There is no bag specifically made for the Really Right Stuff Monopod Head but you could use a lens case such as this Ruggard: https://bhpho.to/45OMEMV

Really Right Stuff Monopod Head with Indexing Lever-Release Clamp BH #REMH02LR will not directly fit the MeFOTO WalkAbout Aluminum Monopod so you will need a 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 Reducer Bushing.

can i change the clamp head with the Really Right Stuff PC-LR-40 Compact Panning Clamp head?
Asked by: Ashton
Yes, you can change the clamp on the Really Right Stuff (RRS) Monopod Head with Indexing Lever-Release Clamp (MH-02 LR) to the PC-LR-40 Compact Panning Clamp. You will need a 5/32" hex key (usually included with the MH-02) to remove the existing clamp.

question

Does this monopod come with a base plate included? Do I need to specifically purchase separate base plates for my Canon 5d4 and larger lenses such as the Canon 100-400mm IS II and 70-200mm f2.8 is II?
Asked by: lorraine
I HAVE THE VERSION WITH THE KNOB RATHER THAN THE QUICK RELEASE LEVER. MOUNTING PLATES ARE ATTACHED TO CAMERAS AND BODIES AND TEND TO BE MODEL SPECIFIC. FOR THIS REASON, THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF THE MONOPOD HEAD. A CHECK OF THE INCLUDED IN THE BOX SECTION WILL CONFIRM THIS FOR YOU.

question

re: The indexed quick release clamp is oriented for horizontal left to right camera tilting but you can change the orientation to vertical fore and aft lens tilting by turning the clamp 90 degrees using the supplied hex key. I believe this copy applies to a less expensive RRS monopod head. It appears that the top platform / clamp of this monopod head can be quickly reoriented without tools using a thumb screw. Can B&H confirm?
Asked by: Danny
There are three versions of the RRS monopod head: 1) Standard Screw Knob Clamp; 2) Standard Lever-Release Clamp; and, 3) Indexing Lever-Release Clamp. The two standard versions require a hex key to reorient the clamp whereas the indexing version and be reoriented without tools.

question

What is the difference is between the indexing version and the standard version? I see the standard one has the spirit level which the indexing one doesn't so trying to work out why it's $90 more?
Asked by: Cameron
The indexed version allows you to rotate the quick clamp easily so you can use the clamp with a lens foot or the mount clamp on the camera body with a lens that has no mounting foot. With the non-indexed version you need to loosen a screw on the quick clamp, rotate it 90 degrees, and tighten the screw.
