It packs and is carried easily without the projection of the hand grip or the handles of a 3-way head. It works quite well for me in many kinds of applications. Skip Douglas

But in the end I got another 488 RC2. First one did the job great and so why mess with what works? https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php?t=1203740

The handle makes it much quicker to get into position than a standard ball head. It however is not a good head if you are going to shoot panorama shots. The 488RC2 is made for it. You don't take a photograph. You ask, quietly, to borrow it.
