Manfrotto 222 Grip-Action Ball Joystick Head w/ RC2 Rapid Connect Plate - Black

With the Manfrotto 222 Joystick Head, you can just grip the handle and position your camera anywhere within a 180-degree hemisphere. The compact, rectangular 200PL quick release plate system fits neatly under small-bodied still cameras up to SLR even with tele lenses or small medium format, or under small Video cameras or spotting scopes. Its rubber pad gives a good grip without damaging the camera, and its angled sides ensure that it also fits perfectly and tightly into a wide range of Manfrotto heads. This head features a secondary security lock so you can't accidentally release the plate (and camera) without meaning to. The lock stops the quick release lever from opening fully. A convenient single locking mechanism blocks or frees movement on all axes for greater speed of use separate control for pre-setting the friction of the ball when unblocked. The position of the red line indicates the approximate amount of friction applied. The built-in, carefully handset bubble spirit level helps make sure your horizons really are horizontal.
