Used it for the first time last night for long exposure sunset at the beach. Feels solid with nice precise and smooth movements. The four stars is for the loose feeling handles when I am making adjustments. Once tightened down looseness goes away.
The build quality is excellent. Very clever design, the handles are designed to fold down so the head does not need to be removed when you pack your tripod. I have used ball heads for years, and they're great for freely moving the camera quickly, but if you need precise control to get your camera...
This is a truly awesome tripod head. I have used the smaller version of his head in th past and really liked it. I purchased this one to handle larger lenses on a larger tripod (Induro 314 Carbon) and it works perfectly with th tripod.
Solid mechanism and precise. Once set no slippage occurs giving excellent stability
Despite the manufacturer's claims, this head is not compatible with Arca-Swiss plates. It may use its own Arca-Swiss STYLE plate, but if you have real Arca-Swiss plates, this head will not clamp onto them.
I've had this head for 4 years. The screws holding the levels in, back out, and I've had to keep a close eye on them to keep from losing them. I eventually started carrying a jeweler's screw driver with me just for those screws.
This head is for those carefully composed shots. It does not have the speed of ball head, simply by virtue of the fact that there are two handles to adjust, instead of the typical single knob found on a ball, not including a pan knob.
Simply the worst piece of equipment I have bought in several years. The materials and build quality on this are terrible. I have had it repaired twice and it barely works again to the point that I need to replace it now. The movements are not smooth and the metal is very soft.
-SOLID -FLUID -REALLY USEFUL TO HAVE ALL 5 AXIS -A BIT HEAVY (personnaly I don't care) This tripod head will not decieve you. I recieved it rapidly at home and i was happy to see the great quality of contruction.
Heavy Duty, and much heavier that ARCA. Great design, but not the most ideal for fine adjustments.
