Don't install some sort of fussy ballhead on your monopod—there's a better answer. You need two parts: a RRS MH-01High Capacity Monopod Head and our B2-Pro clamp (see other clamp options below). Unlike a ballhead, this compact swivel head tilts on only one axis so it's faster to use; less fussy to control.
For a number of years, we’ve been recommending and selling the Manfrotto 234 monopod head combined with our B2-Pro clamp as the “Monopod Solution”. This is still a great economical combination, but with a rated capacity
of only 5.6 pounds, it is limited to relatively lighter-weight gear. Many of our customers begged us
to develop a more robust, well machined and smooth operating product to use with their
largest telephoto lenses.
The MH-01 High Capacity Monopod Head is the answer.
•We conservatively rate this monopod head at 75
pounds; more than you will ever possibly
require. Yet the MH-01 is only 8.8 ounces and
compact enough to fit in a smaller lens
compartment in your camera bag.
•It features an RRS-compatible dovetail on the foot to add versatility. For example, see the photos on the right. Carry it along for use with your gimbal head when you need to switch to a non-tripod-collared lens without having to completely remove (and then subsequently replace) the gimbal head from/to the tripod. The MH-01 allows you to conveniently tilt the camera left/right while using the gimbal head
for up down tilting.
•B2-Pro II and B2 AS II clamps are easily oriented either parallel or perpendicular to the tilt. The “+” groove on the bottom of the clamp nests
securely with bosses on the MH-01. The following clamps can also be mounted on the MH-01, but can only be oriented parallel to
the tilt:
B2-Pro, B2-Pro/L, B2 LR II, B2 LLR II.
•Large tilt-lock knob is easy to grip, even with gloves on.

Not all clamps are created equal.

Our MH-01 monopod head has one set of mounting bosses on its top surface so that Really Right Stuff quick-release clamps can be mounted securely with a single screw without twisting or shifting. The image below illustrates why some clamps can be mounted on the head in only one orientation.
