Here is what people are saying about the Bogen - Manfrotto Midi Ball Head with RC2 Rapid Connect - Supports 17.6 lbs
5 Star Rating  "Held up to hiking Utah's deserts"2009-10-05
- Reviewed By User: AK88GFBVJTYIF
The set up of this ballhead and the 055XPROB tripod held up to 2 weeks of backcountry canyoneering through Utah's slot canyons, deserts etc rather well. It is able to hold a Pentax K10D w/ telephoto lens w/o problems.

Would recommend the ballhead and tripod combo to anyone.
 
4 Star Rating  "Supports Pro DSLR with medium telephoto"2009-09-29
- Reviewed By preston@gtw.net
My purchase of the Manfrotto 488RC2 came about because the Manfrotto 486RC2 ball head I was using was not up to holding the weight of a Nikon D700 and Nikkor 180mm f2.8 lens; the ball would drift after locking, especially with the camera in portrait orientation, so it was impossible to get precise framing.
Off in search of a ball head that could support more weight, I started wading through generally mixed reviews of ball heads in the range of $250 to $800. However, since my maximum gear load currently tips the scale well under six pounds, I could not justify the cost and curb weight of a ball head rated for fifty pounds, like the Really Right Stuff BH-55. So I came back to Manfrotto and settled on the 488RC2 because my experience with the 486RC2 was actually positive and I would recommend it for small DSLRs with lighter lenses.
After using the 488RC2 a few times, I can say that it holds five pounds very securely. There is a very nice range of drag on the ball controlled by the locking knob, a vast improvement over the 486RC2. The independent pan lock is very smooth and secure. The controls are intuitive and easy to grasp without bumping knuckles.
Now for the minor dings:
1) The plate stem screws into the ball, so it could come loose over time, as was the case with my 486RC2; something to monitor.
2) Compared to the competition, the plate locking system is a little on the fussy side and you must remember to lock it.
3) Regardless of the capacity claims, I would not recommend the 488RC2 for loads much over six pounds, especially if it is not balanced.
 
5 Star Rating  "This is one Excellent tripod head."2009-06-03
- Reviewed By User: AJMZDF8FJU8VL
This tripod head is a real pleasure to use. It puts a smile on my face whenever I use it. I have an older tripod with a pan tilt head and the Manfrotto ball head is just so nice to use in comparison. If you purchase one of these you will not be disappointed with it at all. And if you ever want to sell it there will be lots of people wanting to buy it off of you. That's nice to know. But I am sure you will get years of service from this piece of equipment. Enjoy!!
 
5 Star Rating  "Great!"2009-05-27
- Reviewed By User: AOVBEC98TDEXL
I paired this with my Manfrotto 190XPROB, and I can't ask for a better tripod/head pair. This head held a 500mm lens without any problems, and it was smooth as silk when I wanted to pan around to quickly adjust the shot.

The quick release head is also very nice, I no longer fumble to get a camera onto the tripod.

I see no downsides to this product
 
5 Star Rating  "Strong, stable and reliable"2009-05-26
- Reviewed By User: A2IZU4Y9O1WWTE
I have a heavy DSLR, fast large heavy lenses, and a large professional flash. This head is able to handle all of this with ease. It is quick and easy to adjust. Once the equipment is in position, it is like it is sitting on a rock, i.e., there is no movement or slippage. This tripod head has one fault, it is heavier than I would like it to be. But, considering how well it does its job, I can easily live with that.
 
5 Star Rating  "Excellent Build Quality - Perfect for 35mm setups"2009-05-02
- Reviewed By User: A1N88JQUQDNVKL
For everything but the real long-range teles, this is a great head. Sturdy, a little big but light enough to carry all day, locks down my 40D and 70-200 f/2.8 IS snug and secure.

I thought I'd miss the levels some other heads offer but I don't. I thought I'd really want the tension knob that some ball heads have, but it's not necessary. [...]

This is the perfect head for me. I'm not sure I'd trust this head to support the super teles (the $3000-$6000 lenses), but until then it handles the 40D (1-1/2lbs) with the 70-200mm 2.8 (3.5lbs.) easily.

Right now, Bogen/Manfrotto is offering $40 off this head as a mail-in rebate. You get a $100 rebate if you buy their sticks with the head. Not all of their products qualify, but this head does, as does the 190CXPro4, which I bought together.
