Customer Reviews
I use this head with a lever style clamp. MPG01S I believe. I looked at the Wimberley mono head and I didn't like that they use more plastic than this one. I mount a Nikon Z9 with a Z400mm lens on a Leofoto 404C monopod and the combination is rock solid.
Easy to use, light stable and smooth for video too, great deal better than those from the more expensive brand..hint..hint!
As a wildlife Photographer that specializes in Birds in Flight, big, heavy lenses are a must. And so are very sturdy, secure support platforms. Shooting birds is alot of footwork and quick deployment. My go to is a Monopod, and my new fav is the sturdy Leofoto MPD-404C topped with the Leofoto MPG-01 Side Saddle Tilt Head. This head is super strong, light and a precision work of art! My Canon 400mm f4 mounted on my gripped 7D MK II easily balances and works like a dream, very fluid and very precise. Have taken many award winning shots with this combo and the quality (backed by a HUGE 10 year warranty) will last me years to come.
Game changer! I was using a ball head on a monopod for bird photography. No more missing pictures fiddling with knobs. (There goes another excuse). Balance your rig in the Arca clamp, set the tension with the knob as desired, and forget it. Plus, it’s very comfortable to carry over the shoulder.
Astonishing workmanship quality.
