Double Axis Spring System

The 808RC4 features the new Double Axis Spring System, which consists of a built in 3.31 lbs spring for both the front tilt and side tilt movements.

This innovative solution, borrowed from the video industry, helps to move smoothly the camera while framing the picture as it negates some of the camera weight. Moreover it absorbs the shock of bodies and lenses when reaching the end stop of the head movement.

Should this feature, in view of the extreme lightness of the camera and lens combination use, disturb the shooting session it is always possible to exclude one or both springs by two separate knobs.

Design

In photography image is everything and Manfrotto took this maxim to heart with the 808RC4. Manfrotto modernized the overall shape and rounded many of the hard edges to produce a fresh and elegant product. The new handles are designed to fit comfortably in your hand even taking into consideration your fingers. A new coating is used on the quick-release lever that is more durable and scratch resistant than the past levers.

Quick Release Camera Plate

The 808RC4 replaces the 3047 and 329RC4 models. This is why this head has been equipped with a 3271 type of plate: because Manfrotto's goal is to unify all their head systems to only two types of camera plates, the one used on this head and the 3157N system.
