WOW. Easily make fine controlled micro-adjustments to angles and tilts, or QUICKLY change from portrait to landscape without fear that your going to lose control of that heavy EXPENSIVE camera/lens. The combination with my Manfrotto 055CXPRO4 extremely light and compact carbon fiber/magnesium 4-section tripod is superb. FIVE stars! You'll be PROUD of your purchase forever!" "This is a top-of-the-line ball head; well made, operationally smooth, great functionality. Eliminates the need for intrusive handles and a strong wrist!"

It only requires slight pressure by twisting the knob and it locks the head. No locking and having the camera and lens slowly drift as you're trying to make a shot because of not enough locking torque. The quality is built into every aspect of this head, with a magnesium die cast body it can support a load up to 35lb. The head allows panning and with a release of the ball, one can choose any elevation as well as rotate the lens/camera 90 deg. left or right of center.I choose the RC4 mounting system. It provides a larger base with added support for a lens and comes with a safety lock, preventing accidental releases and thus possible dropping. It also comes with bobble levels on the top and another on the side. The previous head I owned had the RC2 mount, which I didn't like--not enough support and accidental release possible. The 468MG can be purchased with 6 different mounts configurations, from--RC0-RC5.Other reviewers have said that this head is heavy. I don't agree. Its weight to load weight is comparable to others costing twice the price without the Hydro fluid system. It will mount to any tripod with a 3/8" male post [head has 3/8" female socket]. My tripod also has three (3) set screws on the bottom to help lock the head once screwed onto the post.I spent months <b>...</b>

The result is minimal effort to twist the knob and a strong, steady, unmoving head. This ball head is by far the best ball head in the Manfrotto line.Everything about this ball head is top quality and very effortless to use. The only flaw that I can find is the weight of the tripod head. It is not super heavy, however it is not light weight.If you are mounting equipment that is on the heavier side and aren't looking for a lightweights system, then this head will please you with its ease of use and strong hold.However if you want something to hold a minimal p&s or dslr set up that is easy to carry around town or on hikes, you may want to look into something lighter.For what this ballhead is designed for, I give it 5 stars. No other company that I know of is using hydrolics. I hope to see Manfrotto release a lighter weight, lighter load-bearing Hydrostatic Ballhead that is more suited for travel.Comparing this ball head to others, is like comparing cantilever padded bicycle brakes to hydrolic disk brakes. The first requires much manual effort to apply an uneven wheel brake (applied to only 1 side of a wheel). The second requires absolute minimal effort to apply a completely even and much stronger wheel <b>...</b>

But perhaps I'm pushing really hard or have it on a severe tilt.The large dial locks in tight very quickly and might take a bit of force to unstick it. :) At least, on my copy.The ball movement is a bit gritty/less smooth, as some others have commented.Major gripe: The low profile quick release base/RC2 mount does not fit, because the round protrusion for the quick release lever will touch the wide based ballhead top. GAH! Ended up using a 1/4 to 3/8 + flange adapter to make it work, but less than ideal. :(" "I have a D300 and a heavy 400mm lens atop a Gitzo tripod. This thing handles it with ease...
