Good to know

The 327RC2 is made from Adapto, a durable technopolymer that keeps the head light without sacrificing strength. It is compatible with all Manfrotto tripods featuring a 3/8" mounting screw and works with any camera using a standard 1/4" tripod socket. The included 200PL-14 plate is part of the widely used RC2 system, so additional plates are readily available for multiple cameras.
