Will this head work on a Manfrotto 290 Monopod? ...

Will this head work on a Manfrotto 290 Monopod? How good is this head for panning vertical and horizontally when you are using a 400mm lens?
Asked by: Dennis
The Oben VH-R2 Tilt Head for Monopods is compatible with the Manfrotto 290 Monopod. This head is good for tilting the camera as long as the camera and lens does not weight more than 11 lbs. The head doe not allow for horizontal panning, but you could turn the Monopod.
