The same can be done with a 3232 + AS clamp, though admittedly you need a wrench to rotate the AS clamp to allow side-to-side rather than fore-and-aft tilt. The L bracket allows you to have both, which is handy if you're using both collared and non-collared lenses. > I mean you get a 3232, an AS clamp, and an L bracket, you're getting > light in the wallet and heavy on the monopod. Does it make sense - > maybe for some shooters. I'm already locked into the AS-style QR system, so this more or less makes the decision for a monopod head. I also use an L bracket with an AS head on a tripod, so there's no additional cost to use it with a monopod. I'll concede that it's much harder to justify the 3232/AS-style clamp/L bracket on the basis of a monopod alone. If one already is committed to a different QR system, the combination doesn't make much sense.
