 - Excellent QR headI mounted the Bogen-Manfrotto 3229 Swivel Tilt Head with Quick Release on a 3-section Manfrotto monopod. The head, like the monopod, is extremely solid and the quick release safety provides a very secure attachment. I believe that the quick release plate works with all other Bogen-Manfrotto quick release heads. If you're looking for a tripod head, I'd recommend something like the 486RC2 Compact Ballhead, but the 3229 tilt-swivel head is ideal for use with a monopod. Rating: - Just what I wanted, but TOO BIG.I ordered the Bogen Manfrotto 3229 to use with my terrific Adorama Podmatic monopod (also purchased thru Amazon). The Bogen head looked to me to be very solid, secure, and well made, and has the precise functionality I wanted (to be able to securely lock my camera in a solidly fixed landscape or portrait mode position on my monopod), but it's BIG! It's a little bigger than my fist, and I'm 6 feet tall. I hated to send it back, but there was no way it would fit in my monopod bag which, it should be said, was thoughtfully designed with extra fabric to accommodate a mount/head. I'll have to suffer with my flippity floppity ball head until I can find something like this that isn't quite SO large. Rating:  - Bogen-Manfrotto 3229 swivel headExcellent product. In combination with my Bogen monopod it is is perfect. The product is well constructed, easy to use, and highly recommended. Rating: - works great with monopodworks great with monopod, very handy...the little pin lock is somewhat tough for my old fingers to operate, but I'm getting the knack...still recommend it highly Rating: - Even came with an adapter boltI got this to use on my monopod made by someone else, so I can leave my Bogen plate on my camera regardless of using my tri- or monopod. I knew I'd need an adapter bolt, but I was not expecting this head to come with one.
