RC2 plate and screw reducer included
The 234RC is not a monopod head that came recommended, but I have an older Manfrotto ball tripod mount using the RC2 plate, and I wanted compatibility. This head fulfills that need.Compared to when I bought my tripod many years ago, I can tell that Manfrotto quality is down. I question if maybe I received a counterfeit head based on the lack of logo on the quick release handle and the poorly embossed release plate. The packaging doesn't even have a barcode on the outside!I'm glad I can use the same quick release plate with my tripod, and now I have a second one (one for each camera body) even if I use the tripod more often than this. Adorama told me they have a clone for $15 less, maybe I should have gone for that since this seems like a knockoff anyway
