With its compact folding design, built-in bubble levels, and quick release system, this tripod head ensures you can capture stunning shots effortlessly, whether you're on a weekend adventure or a professional shoot. ## Description A three-way photo head specifically designed to maximize compactness and transportability, while also allowing accurate, precise framing and solid support of medium-heavy camera equipment. A unique mechanism allows the handles to be "folded" when the head is not in use. With the handles folded and running parallel, the head's dimensions are dramatically reduced, so it takes up less space when packed, and is easier and less cumbersome to carry. The body is made from Adaptor, a special lightweight polymer which cuts down the weight of the head, yet offers high mechanical resistance for sturdy support. The head has three leveling bubbles (on for each axis of rotation) which make it easier and faster to get straight, well-framed images in-camera, thereby saving time in post-production. The head's quick release system allows the camera to be attached (or detached) safely in a second, so you're always ready to shoot.

I have a few heavy lenses that allow for droop because of load weight. This head eliminates that problem plus it is a smooth operating head. I have several heads, including one ball head and two pistol grips. They are alright for light to medium loads (3-6 lb loads) but just have difficulty in supporting the heavy stuff. I think a lot of buyers overlook this when buying tripods and heads.As for the head itself, it is well made and appears to be a long lasting part of my kit. The system is a multilane type allowing for panning,tilt and vertical movement. I have used it with camera, lens and lights exceeding 11 lbs.The head operates smoothly in all directions ands locks down perfectly when needed.AMAZON's price is great at $109.90. Nearest compitition I found was $170.00. I would recommend this item for those who want quality at a good price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Combo - Excellent *by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2014* I am writing one review for my entire purchase - it just makes sense that you know about the entire setup.I bought the Manfrotto 808RC4 along with their 190XPROB Pro Tripod and the Manfrotto MB MSTRAP-1 Tripod Carrying Strap. All at Amazon. Here's why:This head gives you unlimited control in all directions. The large knurled handles allow you to grip and adjust the tension on the pivot points to any degree you want. I use it to pan video, I use it to do off center composure and metering. I love how rock steady this thing is when I am shooting my 60and 120 second exposures with my 300MM lens. Rock steady. And the rotation is greased smooth, nary a glitch.With a bubble level and two straight levels you always know where you are. And gradients to indicate -30 to +90 tilt for replication. Great for panning video or shooting stills for a panorama. There are two "softening springs" to slow the movement of the tilts as you reach either end. You can disengage them if you wish.I have friends that went with the ball heads. And regret it. They are fast, but not accurate, especially with a long lens. With this head you can adjust the tension and just ease the camera around without having to adjust it again.Now hear me on this. I see other reviewers not so happy with the way the shoe is a little tricky. Let me say that by practicing with the shoe mounted to your camera and paying close attention snap it onto the head three times and you know all you need to know. You may have to practice a few more times to get it in the dark but I tell you that you are going to love it. When you snap the camera onto the head it automatically engages and you have no worries. The double safety has stopped me from dropping my camera twice. Lesson learned at no cost.As to the tripod - sturdy is the word that comes to mind. And NOT overly weighty. Together the head and tripod are 7 lbs. With the strap - which I did not buy at first - this rig is rock solid and you won't even know you are carrying it. I don't even notice the combo. I hike several hours at a time and have been know to stop in a panic on the way out and feel on my back to see if the whole thing is still there! I think a big part of the "weight" issue is how it is carried. In your hands it feels hefty. On your hips, 7 lbs feels weighty. Across your shoulder diagonally, head down? It ain't even there!The tripod has a wonderfully steady center column assembly that comes up and tilts over to the horizontal - great for macro shots or simply needing to place the camera where you aren't. The legs are sturdy and the snap retainers have just the right tension - not too hard to snap open or closed, not so loose that you worry whether one might slide. I also like that the center column is not attached to the legs with the typical arms of lesser well made tripods. Makes for very easy folding and stowing. I love the leg angle presets - easy to use and not worried about them slipping. The rubber grips on two of the legs are a hand saver in chilly weather. Nice touch.So, in case you haven't figured it out, I love this rig. If I were going trekking across country for days I might want a little less weight, but for day long trips, portraiture or car trips this is the ticket. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Typical Manfrotto High Quality *by P***I on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2009* I use it with a Nikon DSLR with a 300m lens on a Benro C-069m8 carbon fiber travel tripod for traveling. Works great. Typical Manfrotto quality, sturdiness and weight. Handle does not detach, which makes packing for travel a bit less compact than I'd like. Movement is very smooth for a non-fluid head. OK for still camera, but not video. Quick-release lever has no safety lock. But when closed firmly, it's flush so it won't catch on anything. Good companion with my Benro B-00 ball head. Too bad they don't share the same quick-release plate design. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1172568-manfrotto-3-way-head-with-foldable-handles-mh293d3-q2](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1172568-manfrotto-3-way-head-with-foldable-handles-mh293d3-q2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
