Manfrotto 029 battery cover and the spring clip fastensThe Manfrotto 029 is an old school, all metal 3 way head with a hex plate quick release system. Solid! This head will hold everything up to a 4x5 and possibly beyond, depending on how far beyond. In excellent condition, with minor cosmetic wear. The hex plate's camera mounting surface has been recovered with sturdy, grippy rubber (these often had cork pads which would wear away)
