The Sirui L-10 Monopod Tilt Head provides the features of high end monopod heads at a fraction of the price. With a 33 lb capacity, stepless friction control, full 90° tilt and Arca-Swiss compatibility, the L-10 makes monopod shooting a breeze. Even the base of the L-10 is Arca-Swiss compatible so it can be quickly attached to an existing clamp!

The L-10 comes with an Arca-Swiss plate and padded neoprene case for an even greater value.

33 lb (15 kg) load capacity
Stepless friction control with extra large knob

"The L-10 is a nicely made tilt head, but it has a few unnecessary design quirks that detract from its performance: 1) the dovetail on the base does not fit all Arca-Swiss clamps (notably the RRS pano clamp) due to what appears to be a non-standard shape. The edges of the dovetail on RRS, Kirk, A-S and even Siriu plates are slightly truncated, which effectively makes the groove shallower; the edges on the tilt head base are not rounded, and just barely preventing some clamps from closing tightly, 2) the through-bolts have a sloppy fit, causing the head to "clunk" when being tilted under load, and 3) it doesn't appear that the clamp can readily be rotated, i.e. it can only be used with A-S plates with grooves parallel to the tilt axis.

Once locked in place, though, it holds its position much better than the ubiquitous Manfrotto tilt head, at least with a medium-sized SLR and short telephoto lens. Compared to the cost of a separate Manfrotto head, A-S clamp, and A-S plate, it's a bargain, but frustratingly imperfect.

A couple other non-judgmental observations: a) the friction knob seems to be made of plastic, but looks to be of decent quality. Only time will tell how durable it is. b) the friction knob doesn't stick out very far. That could be good if you don't want to snag it on things, but if you use the head in an A-S clamp like the aforementioned RRS pano clamp, it's a little difficult to grab.

I give the product a three-star rating."
