The Manfrotto 808RC4 is a professional-grade 3-way pan-and-tilt head designed for precise camera positioning and smooth, controlled movements. Whether you’re shooting stills or video, this head gives you independent control over three separate axes of movement, each with its own locking mechanism and dedicated angle scale for repeatable, accurate framing.
Built to support cameras and accessories up to 12 kg, the 808RC4 features a 360-degree rotation, forwards and backwards tilt range, and lateral portrait-orientation adjustment. The integrated RC4 quick release cam lock system works seamlessly with the included 410PL Quick Release Plate, letting you attach and detach your camera gear in seconds without tools. The rubberised, non-slip plate surface keeps your equipment secure and stable.
Key features include:
The 410PL Quick Release Plate accommodates cameras and accessories with 1/4″-20 or 3/16″-20 mounts, making it compatible with the vast majority of professional camera rigs. Weighing just 1.49 kg, it strikes an excellent balance between stability and portability for on-location work.

The 808RC4 3-Way, Pan-and-Tilt Head from Manfrotto has a load capacity of 17.6 lb and can be attached to tripods or other support systems that feature a 3/8″-16 mount. It includes an integrated RC4 quick release cam lock and a 410PL Quick Release Plate. RC4 compatible quick release plates such as the 410PL can removed from the head by pulling the cam lock’s spring-loaded lever, which also allows the plate to be instantly reattached.
Cameras or accessories that are compatible with a 1/4″-20 or 3/16″-20 mount can be connected to the 410PL Quick Release Plate, which measures 2.5 x 3.3 x 0.5″ and has a rubberized, non-slip surface. The head can be rotated 360, tilted 90 forwards or 30 backwards, as well as 90 sideways for portrait orientation. Each of these three movements function independently of each other, have dedicated control handles, and can be locked into place by twisting each corresponding handle’s rubberized grip.
To promote fast, repeatable, and accurate device positioning, the 808RC4 3-Way, Pan-and-Tilt Head also includes dedicated angle scales for each movement that are designed for easy visibility. For heavier loads, built-in counterbalance springs can be user-activated to help ensure smooth as well as gradual backwards, forwards, and portrait orientation tilt movements.
