Need a simple monopod head?
The Bogen - Manfrotto 234 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head is a very popular solution.
And it doesn't even cost much.
A ballhead mounted on a monopod can result in a floppy, hard-to-handle setup.
The Bogen - Manfrotto 234 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head simply has one hinge point.
Use your lens' tripod ring or tip the monopod to get the other direction.
Use a stainless bolt, lock washer and nut to mount a
Wimberley Quick Release Plate
to the Bogen - Manfrotto 234 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head for a great setup.
Perhaps the biggest weakness of the Bogen - Manfrotto 234 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head is
its rather-light 5.5 lbs capacity rating.
Many report loading more weight than this on the 234 with no problems,
but be aware of this rating - use your own judgment.
The monopod head adds 9.5 oz to your monopod's weight.
I reviewed the Bogen 3232 which has been renamed the Bogen - Manfrotto 234 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head.
