How is this for a monopod ball head?

It'll do fine ...

The 486RC2 is what I use on my Bogen/Manfrotto 680B monopod. It works great for me - quite versatile and plenty strong enough while still very easy to carry.

Also what I use. You can't go wrong with this.

Good call!

not much question here....it's gotta be awesome. I use the 484 and LOVE it, you will not regret the 486

Its perfect for your monopod....plus get the 488 for your tripod and you will be set

I prefer this little item

For a monopod I'm a fan of the Bogen/Manfrotto 3232 Swivel Tilt Monopod Head.

I have the one that you mentioned. Unless you're using a very heavy lens, then it will do you fine.

Thanks for all the help, everyone. The heaviest lends I'll be using is probably the 24-70 f/2.8L. It's heavy, but I think the head can support it.

the 24-70 is heavy? that head supports 6kg so it should support the 24-70 it should support a 70-200.

Not a problem. That lens is not quite 1KG so you still have 5KG (11lbs!!!) of camera equipment to add to the lens lol.

ii use the 486 on my monopod, works great, go for it.

I use mine with a Canon 30D w/ grip and 24-70 2.8 and it works fine. It really holds a lot.
