A powerful, advanced-featured entry into what some call the "swivel" market, Manfrotto 's Cold Shoe Tilt Head features that make it suitable for speedlights, lightweight strobes, and tiny LED lights. Ergonomics (as well as style) is taken into account at any point of manufacture. The tightening knob at the base of the foot, as well as the tear-shaped tilt and tightening knob for the 5/8 "receiver, is oversized and knurled for greater torque. Spring action is a safety feature of the tilt function which prevents the supported light from flopping in its near 180-degree arc when loosened. The Tilt Head also has a paragliding receptacle for additional modifications.
