  Works well with both of my monopods... July 16, 2008
Bought mine a long time ago with a monopod. It's been very good and I still use it, especially since I bought a Pentax K10D (internal shake reduction) and a new monopod with quick-extend/retract action.
Excellent Head for the money June 15, 2008
Great build quality and functionality. The Quick release system is excellent...the two step release function ensures that there is no way a camera/lens will accidentally come loose.
Absolutely recommended.
Bogen-Manfrotto 3229 Swivel Tilt Head w/QR June 4, 2008
Couldn't be more pleased with this head. I put it on my monopod and I love the lock system that allows me to carry my camera around without having to remove it constantly. It's light weight, sturdy and well built.
It feels good and safe unlike some other manufacturers. Price was a bit more than something you would buy a Best Buy or CC but the quality is well worth a few extra $$.

This is a very solid, reliable, moderately priced monopod head. It does the job. However, the cast metal construction is very heavy for the functionality. If you're traveling light and want a quick-release, but don't really need the tilt feature, then I recommend the much lighter weight Bogen RC2 instead:

Excellent QR head May 2, 2008
I mounted the Bogen-Manfrotto 3229 Swivel Tilt Head with Quick Release on a 3-section Manfrotto monopod. The head, like the monopod, is extremely solid and the quick release safety provides a very secure attachment. I believe that the quick release plate works with all other Bogen-Manfrotto quick release heads. If you're looking for a tripod head, I'd recommend something like the 486RC2 Compact Ballhead, but the 3229 tilt-swivel head is ideal for use with a monopod.
