The Manfrotto 700RC2 is a basic, fluid head head for use with video cameras up to 5.5 pounds. At around $90 street price, this is an entry-level head with little in the way of creature comforts.
The 700RC2 still gives you a quick release plate, and it has a pan arm rosette on the right side of the head for adjusting the angle of the solid pan arm included with the head. The 700RC2 also has separate pan and tilt friction locks.
With heavier HDSLR setups, smooth pans were more difficult to achieve, but stick to smaller camcorders with the 700RC2 and it will handle relatively smooth pans and tilts just fine. [click to continue…]
