Nice product shots! :)
Thank you!


Very nice. These can handle a 17 pound load, right?
Yes... Manfrotto rates the 498-RC2 for a load up to 17.4 pounds. I've never pushed them that far but I don't doubt for a second they could handle that much; they're very stout heads. The Manfrotto website says says they're all-aluminum, which strikes me odd because they feel heavier than that to me.

Thank you for the compliment...

I'm selling these ball heads because the girlfriend and I want to be on uniform and compatible kit as much as possible. We have a mish-mash of tripods and monopods with different heads and plates and such and so we flipped a coin to decide which way to go. The toss came up Arca Swiss so the Manfrotto heads came from her monopod and one of my tripods. I think she's got her eye on a Three Legged Thing AirHed II like I have on my good tripod.

Anyway, we're an all Arca Swiss couple moving forward so I'm selling off the Manfrotto heads we no longer need. Trying to price them to move without giving them away.

This is a great deal. FYI, there are companies that will make a plate that works for both Manfrotto and Arca-Swiss. I have them and they work just fine. Not that someone shouldn't take advantage of this great deal.
