Details

The Manfrotto 468MG series is designed for those who require a light weight head but at the same time want to support heavy camera loads up to 35 lb. The 468MG uses a hydraulic system to lock the ball mechanism in place.

Using hydraulics instead of a mechanical system produces a secure lock from a minimal turn of the locking knob, without sacrificing the smoothness of the ball's movement when unblocked. To keep weight low, the head is made of magnesium; and to provide smooth movements the 1.25" aluminum ball is Teflon coated. The oversized ball locking knob allows for easy control even when using gloves.

This head features independent pan and tilt locks with a 360° pan movement; +90/-90° tilt movement; a graduated engraved panoramic base; and a calibrated adjustable friction control on the main knob. The 468MG fixed attachment version has an easy-to-grip notched ring that turns the camera mounting retractable 1/4"-3/8" screw making it easier to mount various camera to the head.
