Manfrotto MH492LCD-BHUS Reviews

High quality ball head!

I love these ball heads for my light and monitor. Very well built!

Another solid product from Manfotto

As usual, you get what you pay for. This Ball Head mount is 4x more expensive than some cheaper options, but it may just be 4x better. Others often have some wiggle, even after you secure them, especially when use with heavy weight items, like a 5 monitor with battery. This Manfrotto is solid. Zero shifting once you've locked it in place, even with heavier loads. I often run as a one man operation, so I just need gear to be locked in and reliable, I don't have the time or manpower to constantly make adjustments. For me Manfrotto has always been worth the price. This is my second one of these, and the first has been rock solid for years.

Yes it is. It has a shoe mount to attach to the top of the A7III. It also has an 8.8 pound load capacity so it could mount an A7III on top of it as well.

Asked by: Pete
Yes, the Manfrotto 492 LCD Micro Ball Head with Cold Shoe is very similar but it includes a cold shoe at the bottom to mount directly to camera shoes.
