The Manfrotto 498 RC 4 Ball Head is a heavy-duty magnesium alloy ball head that weighs 1.4 lb yet is capable of supporting 22 lb. Designed to meet the demands of professional photographers who want maximum control with minimal effort, the 468MGRC2 uses a hydraulic system that requires very little force for an exceptional strong lock-down. The head features tension adjustment and 360 degree panning with a separate lock and a lateral tilt range of -90° / +90°.
