Attention all Manfrotto 322 RC2 owners

[Overread]

Well if like me you use one of these great heads on your tripod I bet one thing bugs you at times - the lack of ability to lock the friction grip in the released position to allow easy movement with the camera and a longer heavy tripod:
if so then this might be the solution to all your problems:

simple and yet effective and cheap too!

Interesting, but I rarely pan with the 322. I got the 322 for...well, you know Overread. I do have the 488 which works good for panning, but I will file this option for future use. Thanks.

Interesting idea - cheers for the tip. I haven't really felt the need yet, but it's a cool tip for if I ever do.

There is an add on panning plate available to go under the ball head as well which should work better and they are only around $35. If I remember the brand I will post up.

Cool tip. Feisol makes a panning plate for like $30 i believe. I do not pan too much with that head though.

Been using this under my 322 for a long time. Well made and fits like it was made for it.
