Desmond Dmh-2x1 Monopod Tilt Head

Desmond Dmh-2x1 Monopod Tilt Head
  • Product Code: ga44838
  • Availability: In Stock

$149.85 $187.31

This Desmond DMH-2X1 Monopod Tilt Head is designed for monopods that feature a 3/8"-16 mount. It offers a ±90° tilt angle with an integrated Desmond DAC-X1 Arca-type clamp. By tightening or loosening the clamp's locking knob, a separately available Arca-type compatible quick release plate with an attached camera or lens can be secured or removed. The separately available plate can be precisely positioned using the clamp's 24mm center finder rulers while a built-in bubble level helps to ensure that this head and the device mounted to it are properly aligned to the subject. Constructed from aluminum alloy, the DMH-2X1 Monopod Tilt Head is durable while remaining lightweight.

The DMH-2X1 Monopod Tilt Head has a load capacity of 22 lb. A reducer bushing is provided, which also allows this head to be attached to tripods or other support systems that feature a 1/4"-20 mount. By loosening the MH-2X1 Monopod Tilt Head's locking knob, it can be quickly tilted or returned to its upright position.

The base of the Desmond DMH-2X1 Monopod Tilt Head is itself Arca-type compatible for use on monopods or support devices that feature a non-tiltable Arca-type clamp instead of a 3/8"-16 or 1/4"-20 mount. To help prevent this monopod tilt head from accidentally sliding off if the clamp it is placed on is opened, four retaining screws are included for installation on the underside of the tilt head base.

    Related Questions and Answers

    Q: 1. Hi, can this work with the plate from a Sachtler Ace tripod (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/822105-STUD/Sachtler_1002_Ace_M_Fluid_Head.html) ?

    A: No you would need an arca type plate for something to mount to this head.

    Q: 2. So can a Really Right Stuff B2-LR-II Lever-Release Clamp (60mm) clamp be installed on this tilt head instead of the one that comes with it? What is the screw mount on the bottom of the tilt head 3/8-16?

    A: You can install the Really Right Stuff B2-LR-II Lever-Release Clamp (60mm) on this head if you wish. The screw mount on the bottom of this head is 3/8-16 for mounting on most any monopod. This kit comes with a 3/8 to 1/4 bushing you need it.

    Q: 3. Is the bottom of the clamp also the right dimensions to make it Arca compatible? I want to mount it to a quick release panning base.

    A: No, the bottom of the Desmond DMH-2 & 50mm DAC-X1 Clamp Tripod Tilt Head for Arca-Type RRS Lever Clamps, is not the right dimensions to be Arca compatible..

    Q: 4. My plate on the camera runs left to right (length wise). Can the clamp be mounted in 90 degree configuration?

    A: The clamp can be rotated 90.

    Q: 5. What are the dimensions of the top plate (without quick release clamp) and what are is the size of the center hole on top? I am considering use this to extend the range of an existing head vertically.

    A: The top plate is approximately 2" square. The hole is an industry standard for removable heads.

    Q: 6. If I use this head with the Benro QR-10 plate, will the safety pins of the plate work properly ?

    A: Benro QR-10 is not Arca compatible

    Q: 7. Will this head work on the Manfrotto XPRO MPMXPROC4US Carbon Fiber Monopod? If so, do I need to purchase anything else to go with it? Alyssa

    A: This head can fit the Manfrotto XPRO MPMXPROC4US Carbon Fiber Monopod

    Q: 8. Will this head work with Really Right stuff L-plates?

    A: Really Right stuff L-plates are compatible with the Benro DJ90 Monopod Tilt Head.

    Q: 9. What else does one need to buy to place this on a monopod that does NOT have any head on it?

    A: Nothing...just a plate for the camera.

    Q: 10. What is the load capacity of this head? JR

    A: The load capacity of the head is 22 lbs/10kg.

I'm an amateur photographer and enjoy photographing birds and landscapes. I was looking for a tilt head that was well constructed and holds a Arca plate that received good reviews. I gave Desmond a short tryout when I received it and it seems to do a good job for the money and seems well constructed.

I was looking for a replacement for my Manfrotto 234RC monopod head as I am arca-izing my equipment and thought I'd try this tilt head. Really pleasantly surprised with the quality! Very comfortable to use, very sturdy. The clamp can be rotated by 90 degrees if necessary, the spirit level can be removed if not needed.

Rock solid and very well made, I use it on my Nikon 200-500mm with no problems, it supports the lens with ease and the tension knob is large and very easy to use with gloves

This head is well made and simple to use. It comes with a clamp style device for Swiss arca plates so a quick release could be useful otherwise a good unit.

It was well made, solid Monopod head. I use it for my Sony 600mm lens and it is very stable. I just ordered a second one.

I'm impressed with the construction and operation. The only issue was of my own making and can't be attributed to B&H or the manufacturer.

I ordered this head for my dad who does not own any arca compatible base plates. My wife got me one for Christmas as well, and that's when I discovered the base plate is not included. I can't fault B&H or the manufacturer, since the writeup plainly states that the plate is not included. The only reason I'm including that information here is that many are like me and may not read the description in detail when shopping. Not really a problem if you already have arca compatible bases attached to your camera equipment, but if you don't, you need to order a base separately.

This is a very high quality, well designed monopod head. It's compact and relatively light, but still strong enough to easily support my 70-200/2.8 and 300/4 lenses with Kirk feet. The ARCA type plate works very well and is very secure.


I have large hands, so I reversed the plate to have the clamp and adjustment knobs on opposite sides. I prefer the adjustment knob on the left side anyway, so I can continue shooting with my right hand while controlling the tilt and drag with my left.
With the clamp knob on the right I get a good grip on the lens with my left hand when removing it.


I don't need panning adjustment with a monopod and prefer as few knobs as possible.


For sports I think I still prefer my big Manfrotto ball head, but for everything else this is working great for me.

I purchased this little gem to support a 500/4 and a DSLR on a monopod. It was up to the task!
