Amazon Verified Purchase
The mafrotto 391rc2 tripod head came in a box that proclaimed I should not open it. Having just dragged it around Israel for a week using it as the head on the excellent Giotto GTMT 9340B - 4 Section Pro Aluminium travel Tripod With Two-Way Column I wish I had taken their advise.
The 391RC2 is excellent for photography providing an easy to position base for many photos; though it struggled to remain rigid with a canon 7d / 70-200F2.8 lens mounted out it; the lens sagging down all the time. Using it with my 7D i had hoped it would provide much needed stability when using it for video; unfortunately the friction mounts in the head varied too much when moving the camera horizontally which resulted in video that didn't pan smoothly at all -- far better than hand held but still to judder-y for my liking; the vertical titling motion didn't suffer from this though.
If you are wanting an easy to setup head for photography its definitely an easy to position stable head and a great upgrade for anyone with a simple ball head; for video you may want to look elsewhere

I love Manfrotto kit, always well made and well thought out. I wanted a light head to fit on a 785B tripod (with the standard 'non-removable' head removed and a standard 3/8" thread epoxied in). This makes for a VERY light tripod - most people would say too light - but it's great to carry or strap to a rucksack.
I do use it with some quite heavy lenses (70-200 f2.8) which the head does cope with, but it comes into it's own with something lighter. Smooth, precise, easily adjusted. If you're going to do more than occasional videoing then a longer handle may be more useful, but it is intended to be compact.

I'm very pleased with this product, never having used Manfrotto products it lived up to all the reviews that I researched I can highly recommend this Manfrotto 391rc2 together with the 190prob tripod also by Manfrotto. I'm a well seasoned photographer of many years and specialise in Macro photography and this set up is so easy to use and so versatile

It's not true about Jacks of all Trades
I bought this as a replacement for my 486RC2 ball head as I wanted video camera capability as well as photo. It looks like an excellent choice as it copes beautifully with both. Read more

Very good for the price.
Worth every penny. Built to last and top quality. Easy to use and pretty light considering the quality.
