Manfrotto 804RC2 pan and tilt head using 'Adapto' polymer which is 50% lighter than aluminium but comparable in strength. The 804RC2 is the first photo-specific head to use a spring counterbalance. Built into the forward/back axis movement, it helps restrain the weight of a heavy camera, and makes precise positioning easier. The new materials used enable a modern rounded look to be created, with hard edges rounded off, and a durable scratch-resistant finish. Control handles are ergonomically designed.
