Really Right Stuff Monopod Head Product Review

I recently purchased the Really Right Stuff High Capacity Monopod Head for use on my Gitzo GM5561T 6X Carbon Fiber 6 Section Series 5 Traveler Monopod

Want to know something?  I’m absolutely amazed at the workmanship of this product. There’s something beautiful about a well machined product and this monopod head is as beautiful as they come.

Some Specs of this monopod head:

• Weight = 8.8oz/250g
• Capacity = 75lbs/34kg
• Height (without clamp) = 2.75-inches/70mm
• Base Width = 1.5-inches x 2-inches/38mm x 50mm
• Knob Extension Beyond Base = 1.4-inches/35mm
• Features an RRS-compatible dovetail on foot to add versatility.
• Our B2-Pro II and B2 AS II clamps are easily mounted and oriented either parallel or perpendicular to the tilt. The “+” groove on the bottom of these two clamps nests securely with the bosses on the MH-01.
• The following clamps can also be mounted on MH-01, but can be oriented in only one direction, parallel to the tilt: B2-Pro, B2-Pro/L, B2 LR II, and B2 LLR II.
• Large tilt-lock knob is easy to grip and locks solidly, even when wearing gloves.

The monopod head can be purchased as the head alone (buy here),  with the Really Right Stuff Quick Release Clamp or with the Really Right Stuff Pro Clamp.

This high capacity head is an amazing piece of machinery/art.  If you are looking for a head for your monopod, I’d highly recommend this one.

Next up on my wish list?  A Gitzo GT5541LS Series 5 Long 6X Carbon Fiber 4-Section Systematic Tripod and a Really Right Stuff BH-55 Ballhead with Quick Release Clamp.
