Take the versatility of a ball head, add true ergonomic control and you get the 322RC2 Horizontal Grip Action Ballhead!

The 322RC2 is unique in that it allows you to unblock, move, position and lock your camera with one hand in one position. This is due to the revolutionary design of its grip handle which incorporates the ball lock lever.

A friction control wheel lets you regulate the power of the blocking mechanism to match the weight of your camera and lens. The 322RC2 is made from magnesium for lightweight performance, and is designed to keep the weight of your equipment as close as possible to the tripod's center of gravity by way of its reduced height. It is this fact, matched with the precision construction of the 322RC2, that gives the head its load capacity of 11 lbs (5.5lb capacity when in the vertical position).

The 322RC2 comes complete with a built-in bubble spirit level and quick release camera plate (standard 1/4 - 20" screw, with secondary safety pin).

The 322RC2 is suitable for use with 35mm or medium format cameras. In addition, you can also mount the 322RS shutter release accessory. The 322RS is a world's first. With its remote control electronic camera shutter release, the 322RC2 becomes the only photographic head available today that can put camera control within reach without having to move your hand from the head grip to the camera body.

Fast, Easy, Sure, and Secure

"Over the past 25 or more years, I've carried my Bogen 3020 across 30 states and into 6 countries and have always been satisfied with the 3-way control head it came with. But this head is WOW! It is almost TOO easy..aren't photographers suppose to work for their shots? I shoot mostly scenics, landscapes, close-ups and some portraiture. This 322RC2 works perfectly well for me. It may not be well suited for action..." Read Full Review »

Not the one for me

"Just received the head and I'm sending it back. When in a vertical position, the head allows only a small tilt forward and back. I take a lot of vertical shots in my portrait work and I see this as a major drawback. Also had trouble customizing the position of the camera plate. If you are considering this head, I highly suggest trying one out first...." Read Full Review »

Far Better than a Vertical Ball Head

★★★★★

5.0

"I bought this new 322RC2 to replace an old vertical type grip action ball head that I had used for years. I didn't like the way the camera body was so far away from the pivot ball with the vertical grip system. This was not really a problem during landscape shots, but became a real nuisance during …" Read Full Review »

"I would have to tighten the clamps on my old tripod so tight that I was the only one in my family that could use it. When I got the 322RC2 from BH it was like night and day! The grip release is very easy and you can adjust the tension by just a turn of a wheel, very easy. When I said a 10 yoa can …" Read Full Review »

"it's not the best ballhead made - look to Really Right Stuff and other manufacturers for that - but as ballheads in this price range go, this is a great one. one person said it's heavy; it's not. it's magnesium and a perfect complement to a carbon-fiber tripod...weighs much less than some heads i've …" Read Full Review »
